Alicia Keys was the latest name to take to the stage at the 2016 Apple Music Festival.
The 15-time Grammy winner played to a packed crowd at the Roundhouse in London last night, with millions more watching online.
During her hit-filled set, the singer was sure to interweave new material – presumably from her delayed comeback album. Included was a performance of the previously unheard ‘She Don’t Really Care.’
A sonic nod to the gritty Hip-Hop knock Keys promised on her as yet untitled LP, the track went down a treat live.
Check it out below…
Though clearly not a single, it made for an enjoyable listen.
At this point, it’s apparent that Alicia is performing slots originally booked in support of what would have been her album.
Sure, it’s not an ideal situation, but it’s one that could ultimately work in her favour.
For, with each gig, she’s provided a platform to remind the masses why the fell in love with her 15 years ago.
Perhaps once she gains tangible momentum, she’ll re-rev the LP’s formal campaign.
Before then, let us know…
Home wrecker
You can’t wreck something that was already broken
First sane thing I´ve seen you writing in this blog.
Alicia did the Apple Music Festival before her Girl on Fire album also, which she did new songs also.
I’m feeling it! I’m feeling it! I’m feeling it!
I like the song. Go Alicia. Definitely gives me “girlfriend ” teas.
heauxe
Alicia is waiting for the holiday season to release that album. I’m here for it!
I wish she debuts some fu<<kin concealer around her eyes and some foundation on that face.
That picture isn’t flattering.
Cool song. The vibe is very nice.
I remember when this drum pattern was used on songs all over the 80’s and 90’s…. and then Atomic Kittens – Whole Again and every single they did after that
Even this b**** has sold more albums than a self-proclaimed King and albums artist Oldonce. King my ass! Wake me up when that h** finally enters Top 5 albums sellers among her peers.
And yet oldonce continues to slay while she snatches your edges and coins from your hating ass! Have a seat and accept that overdraft fee Bih! 🙂
I’m so tired of people always coming with old sale numbers. The times of selling a shitload of albums is gone, so you simply can’t compare it. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past and who sold what 15 years ago. Now counts. And though I’m not really a Beyonce Fan, she is one of the biggest sellers and star now. Her tours are always sold out, her albums sell. So yes, Right now she belongs to the top out there, while alicia is having Problems getting her album out.
XYZ
Yes I always say beyonce has become one of the biggest sellers lately no doubt. But it is true that with all the hot machine and relevancy she had behind during the 00s, her sales weren´t that good. Albums were still selling pretty big and she never quite killed it sales wise. Even artists from the 90s outsold her with some albums in the 00s, apart from manny 00s artists. But yes she definitely is killing it now and I always say I respect her last 3 albums and the way she has evolved with them, it has made her next level among most of her competition right now.
Yes Mrs. Keys! ❤️❤️ Ahh yeah Ahh yeah I’m feeling this joint right here
Alicia always delivers. Always true to her sound but also evolving. Real artist and songwriter. I always say it: her sales and actual hit singles while being 100% R&B are outstanding. As the real artist she is, if her sales disappear forver, she´ll be fine releasing her own quality music. It´s what happens when you have the talent to back up all the misteps and lack os commercial success.
Nice
