- Alicia Keys
This past Tuesday, I saw Alicia Key’s perform at The Staples Centre. This was my first time at the home of the LA Lakers (and the Clippers and Kings) and I won’t say it’s the best concert venue - but Alicia did not disappoint. She put on a phenomenal show. Her “Freedom” tour promotes her latest album (released December 15, 2009), “The Element of Freedom”. If you don’t already have it, buy it – you’ll love it. “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” might be the best song of all time.
This is the second time I’ve seen Alicia live. My sister and I saw her in Toronto a few years ago, another incredible show. Her songs and lyrics are fresh and inspiring - and she’s one of those artists who sounds even better live (listen to her live tracks on the album). She’s tied with Beyonce for my #1 - with Rihanna as a close second for favorite female artist.Born and raised in New York her 2009 collaboration with Jay-Z, “Empire State of Mind” tore up the Billboard charts. If you've heard it, you love it. It’s also the theme song for the Sex & The City 2 trailer “Carrie On” – in case the song alone wasn’t enough to give you chills…
