Singer, songwriter and producer Alicia Keys will commemorate the 10th Anniversary of her groundbreaking debut album, songs in A minor, by performing a special concert for her fans in London, at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, on Monday, June 13th, 2011.
The intimate show, titled “Piano & I: A One Night Only Event With Alicia Keys,” will feature Keys accompanied only by her piano. The night of songs and storytelling will take audiences through the entire songs in A minor album as well as many of Alicia’s classic hits that followed.
"I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of songs in A minor, than by holding a special, intimate concert for my fans," said Keys. “It’s my absolute favorite way to perform. There is something so special about just me on my piano connecting with the audience. It brings me back to the very beginning when I could only perform with a keyboard and to now be able take it back to the essence of who I am with this show, it is so exciting.”
On June 27th, Keys will release a 10th Anniversary Deluxe and Collector’s Edition of songs in A minor, on MBK/ J Records / Legacy Recordings, her debut album which first launched her unprecedented and extraordinary music career.
