The Top 10 Best Alicia Keys Songs

We now take some time to celebrate the discography of Alicia Keys. There is no doubting the fact that she has crafted a legendary career while looking back at the nearly two decades of music she’s given us.

Alicia Keys, a classically trained pianist, Keys is known for her soulful blend of R&B, hip-hop, and classical music. With over 65 million records sold worldwide, she is one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Keys began playing piano at age seven and was accepted into the Professional Performance Arts School of New York as a teenager. She was signed to Columbia Records but later moved to Arista Records and then to J Records, where she worked closely with Clive Davis.

Her debut album, *Songs in A Minor* (2001), was a critical and commercial success. The album’s lead single, “Fallin’,” became a global hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. At the 2002 Grammy Awards, Keys won five awards, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for “Fallin'”.

Throughout her career, Keys has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Jay-Z on the anthem “Empire State of Mind,” Jack White on the James Bond theme song “Another Way to Die,” and Usher on “My Boo”. She has also appeared as a judge on the television show *The Voice* and has been involved in philanthropy through her charity, Keep a Child Alive.

We’ve often felt that Alicia Keys is actually underrated when you look at her contributions to R&B over the years. You could make a case that many of her albums will eventually be considered classics. Although she’s evolved into more of a pop artist through the years while experimenting with different sounds, she has definitely left us with a legendary catalog of music.
