Feels Like Home (84800) Blue Note 88 61 ALICIA KEYS Diary Of Alicia Keys. OK, she plays an acoustic piano, but there's electric guitar, bass and keyboards used here, and with the strings, horns and bevy of backing vocalists liberally lathered over several tracks, it strikes me as comprehensively plugged in. Acoustic (624682) RCA 71 54 POSTAL SERVICE Give Up (595) Sub Pop 72 62 AKON. As far as her reviving MTV's Unplugged brand goes, however, this seems to stretch the term beyond any meaningful point. Testosterone levels are boosted late on by the arrival of Common, Mos Def and Damian Marley for the finale of "Love It or Leave It Alone" and "Welcome to Jamrock", but an album containing a track called "Diary" isn't really aimed at the boys. No surprise, then, that this live set is heavy on the hard-done-by-woman side of her catalogue - songs like "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?", "If I Ain't Got You" and "Woman's Worth". This DVD follows Alicia Keys at home and on tour across 2003/4.

The album was followed by a tour that visited Europe, Asia, Africa and of course America, with sell out concerts wherever she went. Then she asks whether there are any "real women" out there, and the shrieks and whoops would freeze a Chippendale's blood. In 2003 her second album, 'The Diary Of Alicia Keys', was released and again took the US No.1 spot. "Any real men out there?" she asks, getting a few half-hearted mumbles in reply you can all but see the guys staring at their shoes, daydreaming about iPod playlists and Sat-Nav. The album was recorded at several recording studios, and production was handled primarily by Keys with contributions from Kanye West and Kerry Brothers Jr.

Her second studio album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, was released in 2003 and was also another success worldwide, selling eight million copies. The Diary of Alicia Keys is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys. That Alicia Keys' brand of lush diva-soul is mainly a girl thing is tellingly illustrated by the audience responses during a song about her desire to find a "real man", whatever that is. The album earned Keys five Grammy Awards in 2002, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for 'Fallin'.
