Alicia Keys is an American Soul/R&B singer, musician & sometimes actress.
A superwoman yes indeed! She can sing, play the piano and shake it all about at the same time (yeah those hips don't lie). We all knew she had talent when she came out with her first single 'Fallin', but I was afraid she was just a gimmick and couldn't really play the piano. She proved me wrong. This Grammy Award winner is a true hip hop fan at heart and from her latest appearances on award shows, she is all about gathering & unity (see the BET Awards in '08 when she graced us with forgotten musical heavy hitters SWV, En Vogue & TLC). Oh and let's not forget she's down with Reggae & Dancehall too.
I like the fact that even though she got in the business at a young age, she never crossed certain boundaries (Yes, u can be sexy with ur clothes on! Shout out to Chritina Aguilera do you!).
Classy is the word!
Check the video, check the class & the grace. This vid is like an ode to Spike Lee's 'School Daze' movie, cameos from Derek Luke, Michael from the Wire, Anthony Hamilton & Al Be Back. Shout out to that crazy dancing chick with the old school schmoves (clickaty klow!).
