Alicia Keys stops off for a concert in this ancient Roman arena in southern France. The New York-born Keys is often compared to the soulful likes of Roberta Flack and Aretha Franklin, bringing classical training and old-school sensibility and R&B to the hip-hop music of this generation. The talented young singer, songwriter, and extraordinary pianist released her sophomore album entitled The Diary of Alicia Keys in December 2003, a follow-up to her award-winning, multi-platinum debut album Songs in A Minor. Already a major pop and R&B hit, The Diary of Alicia Keys reflects the artist's love for the music of the sixties and seventies, featuring the chart-topping single "You Don't Know My Name." Her new album is entitled, As I am.
Keys is enjoying one of the most successful years of her career as a performer, producer and songwriter. She received a Grammy Award for “Best R & B Song” for the smash single “No One,” and also won a Grammy for “Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.” Keys has won 11 Grammys and has sold a combined total of more than 40 million albums and singles worldwide. Her most recent album, “As I Am,” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart and since its November 2007 release has sold more than 2.7 million copies.
