Alicia Keys sang the latest Bond film theme tune, Another Way To Die, for Quantum Of Solace, as a duet with Jack White. Keys, 28, has sold more than 20 million records and has won 11 Grammy Awards, but is also a successful actress.

She will soon be starring in the new film ‘The Secret Life Of Bees,’ with Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Paul Bettany. She is a committed charity campaigner, doing extensive work for Keep A Child Alive, which provides antiviral drugs for families suffering from Aids in Africa.

I have to say this- i attended the first ever MTV AFRICAN MUSIC AWARDS in Nigeria and it was so amazing. Our girl Alicia won an award for Best R&B beating Akon and Rihanna as well as Nigerian artist Psquare. She was not there to collect the award but beautiful Kelly Rowland who rocked the show got it for Alicia keys.
I know part of the reason Alicia could not make it to Africa was because of AMA which she is set to perform and also nominated for five awards, so dont miss it tonight on ABC.
And dont also miss Alicia’s performance on CNN on Nov 27th on CNN’S HEROS an all star tribute.
On Dec 5th Alicia will appear on Tyra Banks show, Tyra who was a guest at Alicia keys’s last Black Ball event will be talking about Alicia’s work with Keep A Child Alive as well as the Black Ball event.

IF you’re looking for a way to sum up Alicia Keys, the title of her latest single, Superwoman, says it all.

At just 27, the softly spoken R&B singer is an undisputed pop megastar who has won nine Grammys and sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.

And she’s just joined the ranks of Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner and Madonna by recording a James Bond theme song - the latest.

But the girl born Alicia Augello Cook in Harlem, New York, hasn’t always led such a charmed life.
Born to an Irish/Italian mother and Jamaican father (who split early in her childhood), Keys was raised in New York’s notorious Hell’s Kitchen - a cultural melting pot of Irish, Italian and Puerto Rican immigrants in Manhattan’s Midtown district where many known gangsters resided.

“My mother raised me and I saw her struggle and work and I’m not under any illusions _ I know exactly what I could go right back to,” she says down the line from Belgium, where she’s just come off stage after a concert. read more

How, you might ask, can you get Justin Timberlake, John Mayer and Jessica Alba to show up at one of your events? Have Alicia Keys work the phones.

The singer and actress, who co-stars in The Secret Life of Bees, hosted her fifth annual Black Ball Thursday, which benefits the AIDS organization Keep a Child Alive. And, as it turns out, she can be quite persuasive.

“I bat my eyes and I wink,” she said. “And we have great conversation, and they show up. It’s a very important event.”

Keys said she was optimistic about the country’s direction. “It’s a difficult time for all of us, but due to our recent election, it’s a hopeful time.”

Keys also sent her best wishes to singer Jennifer Hudson, who had been scheduled to perform at the event. Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew were killed last month.

“I have reached out to her,” Keys said. “We’re gathering around her and sending her love.” <!–more–>

Queen Latifah, Keys’ Bees co-star, was honored for her humanitarian work, as was Simon Fuller, the brains behind the Idol Gives Back juggernaut. Iman co-hosted the cocktail party, followed by a live auction, dinner and musical performances at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Mayer, who wasn’t performing but was “hanging out,” raved about host Keys.

“She’s a rare human being. I’m proud to consider her a friend. I’m kind of a creep,” he joked. “It’s about supporting a friend, and it’s about myself feeling strong enough about it to help.”

A Gucci-clad Alba agreed. “What she’s done with this organization, the money and awareness she’s raised, is incredible. Becoming a mom makes everything more relevant. You feel the impact of every decision that’s made.”

Tyra Banks, in Michael Kors, was personally invited by Keys: She “called and asked me if I’d come and sit at her table. And I’m there.”

Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi (in Naeem Khan), who has helped Keys raise money for Keep a Child Alive, said it can be tough asking for charity dollars. “It really is. I’m sending e-mails and calling. You felt almost bad because it was when the world was crumbling.”

The singing sensation talks about Indian movies, men, her sex appeal and lending her voice for Barack Obama, in a candid chat with Prithwish Ganguly

International music labels and musicians are running after Indian musicians to cut albums with them, and we have none other than eleven-time Grammy Awards-winner Alicia Keys vouching for the fact.

“Indian music is all over now. Singers here (USA) and in Britain are clubbing with the Indian singers to cut an album with the feel of that soothing music. And yeah, people are liking this West-East collaboration,” Alicia told After Hrs in an interview.

Keys seem to have become fonder of Indian men, who according to her, have become ‘tougher’.

“Indian men are getting a tough image now. They are handsome, romantic. In recent days, I find them wearing a hard image too. They are very talented, actually. They can also dance well,” Alicia adds.

Has this singer (she specialises in R&B, soul and the neo-soul genre of music) seen any Bollywood films or heard its music? read more
