One of New York’s very own, Alicia Keys gave a free, but spectacular performance in the heart of America’s largest city last night.
With her forthcoming project HERE due to arrive on November 4th, the fifteen-time Grammy winner took the opportunity to introduce some her new forthcoming material as well as perform fan faves.
“On this album, I’ve arrived HERE,” Keys says. “A place where I’m willing to truthfully look at myself in the mirror and to also see the reality of who we have become in this world. The good, the ugly, the shadows and the light. I’ve come to realize that in order for us to grow and to understand and accept each other we have to recognize the complexity of ourselves. We have to be able to talk about it and meet each other where we are, HERE.”
Alicia brought out special guests throughout the night including John Mayer for a mash up of “If I Ain’t Got You” and his song “Gravity” with Questlove playing drums. Nas took the stage for a duet of “One Love” and “She Don’t Really Care” and Q-Tip duetted with Alicia on “You Don’t Know My Name.” For one of the last songs of the night, Jay-Z surprised the crowd when he joined Alicia for an epic performance of “Empire State of Mind.”
HERE is available for pre-order now. A full track listing, list of performances and more information for HERE will be announced shortly.
