Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

6. Alicia KeysThe Element Of Freedom

The song ‘Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready)’ made me curious to listen to the entire album. I never paid much attention to Alicia Keys before I fell in love with this song and then I went way back through her whole discography. I really find that Alicia Keys possesses pure musical genius and I think her live performances prove that. Her voice helped her sell something like 35 million copies of her albums all around the world.
