Alicia Keys — "Alicia Keys Unplugged" Fans receive the very best of Alicia Keys on her recent live album, "Alicia Keys Unplugged." The album includes her newest single entitled "Unbreakable" and also many old favorites such as "Fallin'" and "You Don't Know My Name." This album showcases more of Keys' previously doubted vocal talent in allowing her to prove herself, not only as a classically trained pianist but also as a competent singer. Guest appearances include Common, Mos Def, and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley. Also, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 performs a poignant duet with Keys on an old tune entitled "Wild Horses." Needless to say, this album is full of little delights. Keys not only toots her own horn on this album but she also gives tribute to some other much loved classics such as Gladys Knight's "If I Was Your Woman." It may be safe to say that this album is more coveted than any of Keys' other LP's for a more enjoyable listening quality.
