KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30:

You couldn’t have missed her. Despite the light blue silk scarf and a pair of large sunglasses, multiple Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Alicia Keys stood out in her own way despite a low-key arrival at the Shangri-La Hotel here today. Looking radiant in a low-necked white top and faded jeans, Keys arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport from Bali, where she had taken a short break under the sun after her sold-out concert in Beijing, China, last week. She was accompanied by manager Jeff Robinson.

Keys, who popularised the piano-driven hit ballad Fallin’, will be performing in her maiden Alicia Keys World Tour 2004 concert at Stadium Negara tomorrow at 8.30pm. She is expected to belt out a string of hits from her debut album, Songs in A Minor and the sophomore release Diary of Alicia Keys.

Opening for her will be local award-winning R&B crooner Reshmonu. Tickets for the show, which went on sale earlier this month, are sold out. Keys’ next stops will be Hong Kong and Singapore.
