Alicia Keys launched her fourth studio album, The Element Of Freedom with an exclusive performance in London on Wednesday night.
The ultra-glam R&B star performed a selection of her biggest hits in front of a celeb-packed crowd that included the likes of JLS, Dizzee Rascal and Alesha Dixon, to name but a few.
Kicking off with a solo rendition of her massive hit Empire State Of Mind, Alicia showed that she knows just how to rock a crowd by changing the words from 'New York' to 'London' for the final chorus. She certainly endeared herself by doing that!
Current single, Doesn't Mean Anything followed, as did new album track Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart, which has a bit of an 80s power ballad feel - definitely one to look out for!
She finished the set by performing a trio of her biggest hits - X Factor audition favourite If I Ain't Got You, laid-back old skool track You Don't Know My Name and her 2006 smash No One.
Our favourite bit? When Alicia asked if there was a mic stand anywhere, only for one to appear, as if by magic, just seconds later. Now that's what it's like to be a superstar...
As you'd expect, she went down an absolute storm and we can't wait until she returns in May for her UK arena tour.
