While Rihanna was stumbling around the stage during her set at ‘Rock in Rio’ last evening, Alicia Keys showed the iHeartRadio Music Festival audience the sound of real talent. In fact, the singer used the opportunity at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to debut a new song entitled ‘A Place of My Own’.
Watch Keys’ rendition below:
Although Keys has definitely put forward stronger vocal performances in her career, this song is still quite enthralling. The most prominent element of the arrangement, of course, was Keys’ piano playing, which framed an absolutely beautiful melody.
Keys’ ‘The Element of Freedom’ was a disappointing effort so her new album needs to deliver, especially now that the R&B market is suffering. However, if she has more songs like ‘A Place of My Own’ then she will certainly score a hit.
