Alicia Keys is back!
And That Grape Juice were in the house to see the 15-time Grammy winner.
Head below to read our NYC correspondent Richard Pittman‘s exclusive recap.
A crisp, NYC evening saw magic manifest at Alicia Keys’ surprise concert in Times Square. The gig was staged to promote her sixth studio album ‘Here,’ slated for release on Nov. 4th.
While Alicia brought home her classics such as ‘Fallin’ and ‘No One,’ she was also introduced her audience the newer numbers that will appear on ‘Here.’ Titles weren’t divulged but new cut ‘Blended Family’ was showcased live.
Alicia’s scenic performance also included star-studded appearances by Q-Tip who DJ’d the event, Nas, Quest Love, John Mayer, and Jay Z. The audience was gifted with covers of Mayer’s ‘Gravity’ as well as a tribute to John Lennon singing ‘Imagine.’
By far the highlight of the night was her performance of ‘Empire State of Mind’ with Jay leaving the audience stunned by the suddenness of his appearance As her voice soared, the masterful MC spat two complete verses, interacting with the audience with youthful adulation, and humility to be amongst his people.
Watching two of New York’s finest in their element, it was one of those moments in live performance that leaves you in awe and inspired to hustle.

I agree on twpo things: this was amazing and Alicia has an incredible career under her belt for someone who has always stayed 100% classy R&B; and yes the site is full of trolls who rarely talk about music, just charts and absurd fights. It is a great way to get news though. Do you know any other sites you recommend?
Like everything MADE IN CHINA? Please know your place, Ali is the 2nd best selling female artist of last decade, selling more albums than the girl who topped that list
And she’s still tired. Maybe she should throw concealer under those eyes
Hmm Alicia sound a little… rough…no? Maybe it’s the weather? Or she has a cold?
And people have the nerve to compare her to Bey as a vocalist. Anyways.. great job I gues.
Who has ever done that? Thing is she is a way better musician and a real songwriter. Maybe that´s what you have heard sometimes? 🙂
A lot of A. Keys fans feel the need to compare her to Bey and some of her other peers vocal wise like that is something she excels in. I agree, she excels in songwriting and instruments but her main instrument is never on key. She should change her last name tbh…
Classic!
It´s such a great song. I remember how grammys got it so damn right and gave the grammy (for best collabo or soemthing like that i suppose) to this song over the one with Eminem and Rihanna. This was truly great, quality and commercial success.
Lol, yes
