Major Keys
Alicia Keys appears with Ne-Yo and Jordin Sparks at Trump Taj Mahal on Saturday, May 31 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $150.50, $95.50 and $75.50.
Alicia Keys is back, and for lovers of smartly nuanced neo-soul, that’s always good news.
The supremely gifted singer-pianist-composer is touring in support of her 2007 album As I Am, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and reaffirmed her rank as one of the world’s premiere female solo artists. Keys comes to Trump Taj Mahal for one night only, Saturday, May 31.
A musical prodigy whose talents were evident by the time she was nine years old, Keys’ classical training adds depth to her R&B repertoire, now increasingly influenced by hip-hop. A phenomenal success from the moment she debuted in 2001, Keys’ trophy case is jam-packed: 11 Grammy Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards and 14 NAACP Image Awards.
At the show, anticipate a reprise of chart-topping hits (“You Don’t Know My Name,” “No One,” “If I Ain’t Got You” and the ubiquitous “Fallin’,”), as well as songs from the new album. Opening for Keys will be songwriter-vocalist Ne-Yo (“Let Me Love You,” “So Sick”).
