American pop, R&B, soul singer-songwriter, pianist, actress and Grammy awards winner Alicia Keys will be back in Manila on August 5 for a concert in Araneta Coliseum, produced by MTV Philippines and Music Management International.

Alicia Keys became the best selling new artist and best selling R&B artist in 2001. Her first album’s first single Fallin’ spent six weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. Alicia Keys has been associated with the hits such as A Woman’s Worth, You Don’t Know My Name, Karma, Diary, Heartburn, Every Little Bit Hurts, Unbreakable and who would forget every lovers theme song If I Ain’t Got You and her song collaboration with Usher, My Boo. Alicia Keys has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide as of 2007.

As I Am, her fourth album, was released in 2007 with No One as it’s first single.

Alicia Keys’ concert on August 5, 2008 is not her first performance here in Manila. Alicia Keys first went here in 2004 and also had a concert in Araneta Colisuem. Wow, it has been four years! I admit I am a fan and yes, I was there in Araneta enjoying her first concert in Manila.

Alicia Keys is a great performer. If you really, really like her I suggest that you should see her concert in August. Alicia Keys is currently on tour, her As I Am US Tour. Expect tracks from her As I Am album being performed on her concert in Araneta. I hope she will also sing her other hits like If I Ain’t Got You. Tickets will be available in Ticketnet (911-5555). Will post ticket details as soon as I can get some info.
