Alicia Agneson

Née Alicia Augello Cook à Manhattan en 1981, l'autrice-compositrice-interprète et pianiste américaine Alicia Keys apparaît en 2001 avec une recette à la croisée des R&B classique et contemporain déclinée sur Songs in A Minor, premier album studio de 2001 récompensé par cinq Grammy Awards et propulsé en tête des charts mondiaux par le hit "Fallin'", s'écoulant à plus de dix millions d'exemplaires. Sur ces fondations solides, la chanteuse se bâtit dès lors un riche catalogue, du salué The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) à Here (2016) en passant par As I Am (2007), égrainant au passage des classiques du genre comme "No One" ou "If I Ain't Got You" et revient en 2020 avec Alicia, septième opus la voyant entrer dans sa troisième décennie d'activité.

Singer/songwriter and pianist Alicia Keys became an international star in the early 2000s with her sophisticated mix of classic and contemporary R&B. Behind the number one pop hit "Fallin'," her first album, Songs in A Minor (2001), sold more than 50,000 copies during its first day of availability and eventually moved over ten million units worldwide, thus setting the stage for the then-20-year-old's lengthy career. Since collecting five Grammys for her debut, Keys has continued to refine her signature sound, specializing in aching love ballads and feel-good motivational anthems, appealing to an audience far beyond her R&B base without being overtly pop. Her subsequent studio albums through the 2000s and 2010s, namely The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003), As I Am (2007), The Element of Freedom (2009), Girl on Fire (2012), and Here (2016), all reached number one or two on the Billboard 200 and produced crossover hits such as "You Don't Know My Name" and "No One."
