The career of the young and talented Alicia Keys has been surprisingly long for her age. She has produced scores of pop music hits through the course of the last ten years or so, and it’s time that we recognize some of her best work to date.
1. No One – This song was the first single off of “As I Am,” and showed off Alicia’s range like few other songs. The passion, which you can see on her music video, rocketed this hit to #1 and became an instant hit.
2. This one takes us back a decade, as “Falling” was Alicia Keys’ first major music hit. This came off of her debut release in the later part of the last decade, and boy, has she made her impact known since then.
3. The Diary of Alicia Keys was one of her most successful albums through her career so far, and the song “If I Ain’t Got You” was an instant hit. Her work on the piano in this song is superb.
4. You may remember a duet that Alicia Keys did with Usher a few years back. The song is called My Boo, and even though it was featured on Usher’s CD, this song is equally Usher’s and Alicia’s. This was another great song and the two of them worked really well together.
5. One of her more recent hits, Superwoman is another classic Alicia Keys chart topper. The lyrics in this song are particularly meaningful, as millions of women worldwide can relate to her here.
It has been used for a ton of commercials, television shows and award shows. This is on the same album as the #1 song on this list, “As I Am.”
This was a tough list to make. Alicia Keys is a valuable artist, but she should be recognized for her best work. Narrowing it down to five was tough, and I apologize ahead of time for showing inadvertent favoritism.
