Eleven-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys announces the Alicia Keys Tour. The tour, which is one of the most highly anticipated tours of the year, will build upon the unparalleled success of Keys’ latest album, As I Am, and continue her reign as one of the most prolific performers and songwriters of this generation.
Enjoying one of the most phenomenally successful years of her career as a performer, producer and songwriter, Keys, who has sold over 40 million albums and singles worldwide, is one of the most celebrated recording artists in the world. Keys was just awarded Best Female R&B Artist at the BET Awards and “As I Am” was named one of the “100 Best Albums of the Last 25 Years” by Entertainment Weekly.
Tickets on sale Friday, July 25, 2008, 10am.
One of the few artists who can capture an old-school vibe and make if feel refreshingly new, Alicia tackles this feat once again with an album she describes as “Janis Joplin meets Aretha Franklin.” Punctuated with rich powerful vocals, Alicia’s vocal muses can be felt on songs ranging from the anthemic “Superwoman” and power-charged “Go Ahead” to the misty-eyed ballad “Like You Never See Me Again” and the soulful “Sure Looks Good To Me.”
