So - Alicia Keys. Maybe it's just us, but we're always surprised when we realise just how huge she is in the US because she never seemed to make it properly massive over here. Mentally we had her chalked up as a bit of an also-ran, but she has actually sold over 30 MILLION RECORDS worldwide. To put it into context, that's roughly more 29,930,000 more than Pixie Lott.
Anyway, as if to prove a point to us (although she surely has better things to do), she's suddenly become very conspicuously incredible.
Exhibit A: A duet with Beyonce called 'Put It In A Love Song'. It starts with "Yo B?", "What up A?" and somehow gets better from there:
Exhibit B: A really, really, really good single called 'Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart'
You think that's bad? Try sleeping with my wife etc etc
Exhibit C: A brilliant piano version of Empire State Of Mind. We're not normally fans of taking a perfectly good song and going all slowjamz, but this really does add something to it.
Well done Alicia.
