Since the 2001 debut of Songs In A Minor, the New York native has built an unparalleled repertoire of hits and accomplishments with over 20 million albums sold worldwide! Songs In A Minor, which spawned her signature hit “Fallin,” sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and garnered five Grammy Awards including Best New Artist and Best R&B Album. Alicia’s follow-up disc, 2004’s The Diary of Alicia Keys, which is currently 7 times platinum, captured four Grammy Awards and featured the hits “If I Ain’t Got You,” “You Don’t Know My Name,” and “Karma.” With the 2005 release of Unplugged, which has sold 2 million copies, Keys became the first female R&B artist to have three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart in as many releases.
Alicia is on her way to becoming a legend in her own time. Now embarking on what will prove to be her most progressive album to date, Alicia has collaborated with Linda Perry, John Mayer, Jack Splash, Mark Batson and her Krucial Keys production partner, Kerry Brothers to name a few. Influenced by everything from hip-hop to soul to rock to classical music, this album embodies rebellion and empowerment.
