PinBoard was invited to Alicia Keys’ exclusive album launch party (in association with W Hotels) last night (Weds 9th 2009), where the 12 time Grammy award winner took to the stage for an intimate concert. Staged at the swanky Aqua Nueva in Central London, the event was attended by the likes of Alesha Dixon, Dizzee Rascal, JLS, Sabrina Washington and a whole host of others.
Miss Keys performed songs from her new album The Element of Freedom including “Doesn’t Mean Anything”, “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” and “Empire State of Mind (Part 2)”, as well as some of her previous hits like “You Don’t Know My Name” and “If I Ain’t Got You”. We got some footage of Alicia’s brilliant and powerful performance – check it out above!
After her short but sweet performance, the party really began. This was definitely one of the best ‘industry’ parties I’ve been to in a hot minute. I heard the label forked out a quarter of a million pounds on the shindig – the drinks were on constant flow, as was the food (when you could grab it!). The DJ’s turned it on too – we kinda partied hard! Great night.
The Element of Freedom truly is a great album. It’s released in the UK on December 14th, I highly recommend you cop it.
Peace, Love & Alicia Keys
