 Alicia Keys, who was born in 1981 in New York, has become one of the biggest revelations of soul music to the beginning of XXI century. Her debut album, "Songs In A Minor", released in 2001, the site jumped to the top of U.S. charts and sold today with a circulation of more than 10 million copies! Less than 20-year-old singer received for this record as many as five Grammy Awards. In December 2003, to hit stores next album, entitled "The Diary of Alicia Keys." In the first week in the U.S. alone was found more than 600 thousand customers, and to this day there coincided with the double platinum.
Alicia Keys says, inter alia, a special relationship linking it with my mother, growing up in the big jungle of New York, taste for wearing hats and incredible evening, during which rain fell on her Grammy Awards. It's a difficult question, because there is no simple answer. I am a person who loves music above all. I love life and experimenting, trying new things. I am a person who does not tolerate categorization pigeonholing. I always want to break any rules. I always want to do something different and new, all the time to grow and learn new things about myself. But I am also definitely a person with a big heart. I love people and love life. I love real life and authentic situations. I love to feel that my heart is beating strongly, and it flashes in my life. These are the moments where looking for. These are the moments, which I sing. Special relationship connects you with the mother ... Yes, my mother is probably the only reliable person in my life since my childhood. It is one of the few people who were not variables in their feelings, nor have they been with me only when they were comfortable. It is my rock. I know that when wake up the next day, she will be with me. Thanks to her I realized how important it is to have a person with you and how rarely make in this world are people so loyal and devoted. This is my best friend. That which I can say about everything, and she will not consider me crazy or a fool. During the tour she takes care of me eating, so people do not tormented me, I was on time at that point, I knew what was going on, what my commitments and I might be able to adjust their positions. Assistant is the best because it is incredibly accurate. Is a person that anyone would like to have in your team. I am very, very amazing with her for that love. What music you like and what draws inspiration sources? I am a person who apparently was born in the wrong era. Fond of old school music. Billie Holliday, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye - this is my world. If I had to go to a music shop and choose my favorite music, what they would chose. But just in general I like all the artists who sing what they feel. Those who put their soul into their music, because they have something interesting to say. Something that would say, even if no one listened, because I simply have to throw it out. That is the music that I love. Yes, my relationship with the piano is really strong. Piano is like a friend who does not impose any conditions. Listens to everything I have to say, even if I am wrong, when I mixed everything. It does not assess, is simply. I can not put on all my troubles, my pain, my joy, and take it all. Of course, sometimes fighting with each other, are sometimes sharp fighting. But it keeps me in check. Sometimes people do not want to submit to discipline, he wants to get away and do something completely different. Then my piano looks at me reproachfully, and says to me: "Sam you know what you should do." So actually it is a strong bond between us and something I feel that this will be one of the longest relationships in my life. Tell us about that fateful night, when you received five Grammy Awards. Well, first of all when I was terribly sick. You know how a man feels when it is very sick: all body parts are terribly hard, only dreaming about a hot bath and comfortable bed. Man can not even think, do not derive pleasure from anything. So we have just this amazing, fantastic, wonderful night - the first such night of my life - and I'm sick. I remember that I fell asleep in a chair, it was horrible. But all that has introduced me into a state like sleep, delirium. And guess what, it was even pretty good, thanks for not completely nervous. I was too sick to feel any emotion. Well, sit yourself sick in a chair and look around. I look to the right - is Bono of U2. I look for myself - Brian McKnight. I look to the left - again, someone very famous, I do not remember who. The longer you look around, that everything seems less real. But the dream has just begun. I knew in advance of the leaks that have at least two awards, so when they called my name first and the second was not at all surprised. But then they called me a third time. "No, that's impossible!". By the fourth or fifth if I thought that this was too much. This small little voice in my head began to tell me that after I do not deserve that, do not get a life so lucky once. I never cared for prizes. The best reward for me is when someone is really moved by my music, when it says to me that this music has helped him at some point in his life. Or on stage - when I did not say anything, but I hear the passion with which the audience sings the words of my song, a passion that I myself do not I have to sing - they sing for me. It is for me like a gold medal. It always amazes me, just as if God himself appeared here in this room. Who's most like to collaborate? I understand that it was a living artists? I would like to work with people who have their own taste, such as Prince. I would like to at least find someone next, and Stevie Wonder. And working with him ... God, do not even know if I would have been able to persevere to the end of that session. We would like to work with someone like Lauryn Hill, with whom I could feel the kinship of souls, with whom I could talk and ask about various things, and what could be caused by something really incredible. I admire Gwen Stefani and a Lenny Kravitz, who are looking for something new, but all the time doing his. The board of such legends as Aretha Franklin would have had not even sing. (laughs) Tell us about your childhood that you spent in New York. New York is a brutal, without a doubt. However, I would not grow up anywhere else, because I know that New York is largely caused that I am who I am and I look at life this way, and not otherwise. It is a city full of contrasts - it is difficult, dark and brutal, in every minute of every corner can wait for someone who wants to accost you, upset, trample and leave there, you died. But on the other hand, New York seethes opportunities, burning passion, the heart of the city beats without a break, this city never sleeps. This is my house grew up here, live here, love here, here I learned the most important things. It was in New York who received God's mercy - all the time I ask myself, as I managed to avoid all these pitfalls we encounter at every step. Why I am not now pregnant with their seventh child? Why I am not dependent on drugs, why not stand as a prostitute on the corner, which I pass every day? Why are not I? At the same time I thank God that I was missed that for some reason I was strong enough to hold on to this from afar, and that I learned that all these things, both negative and positive, makes the world turn. I hope that you and I will be strong enough not to let the demons that possessed us. People always ask me when I make a break, just sigh. But my interests are a bit strange. When I have free moment, I love a serious discussion with someone whom I love, whom I have not seen for a long time and who is not talking, because I was on tour. So I'm going back home and do yourself a quieter evening, nice dinner, long conversation, etc. It relaxes me. I also like various typical things like watching movies. When I have free, making up the film up. We rent movies a lot, studying to be in bed and relax. I like barbecues or a good party. Sometimes I like to break out of the house and do something stupid - I was always this good. But also like you to sit somewhere quiet and listen to my own thoughts. Why do you appear so often in hats? Funny thing is that when I was younger, I hated hats. It seemed to me that every hat on my head is a nightmare. Did not fit, I did not feel good in them, seemed old-fashioned. But once upon a time my housekeeper has convinced me the hat. She brought me one and said: "Alicia, you have to try, I tell you, is great and she replied: "No, no, absolutely not, so you assume it poorly, you need to tilt, just like that." Well, it happened: when I learned to wear it, between me and the hat has fulfilled a very important affair. I have a lot of hats. Such a very strange and ordinary, small and large, straw and canvas, and subdued color. Each has its own personality, and emphasizes mood, which just am. Sometimes I feel very feminine, chic again, sometimes, sometimes relaxed. For every such situation I have another hat. Aha, and hats are the best way to hide the neglected hair ... How do you prepare for the concerts? On the concert all starts quite early, so around three or four in the afternoon I go on location. I like to climb the highest place and make sure that the audio sounds good to the ear. We do sound check with the band and then we usually have little time to eat. Then we start what we call "closure". I cry aloud: "We close!" - This means that nobody has the right to enter my room because I practice for two hours to loosen the fingers and I felt my game perfectly on the piano. Yes, near the sixth or seventh, we must be prepared, so I start to dress, do makeup. Wonder team, I feel like the day, what mood I am, and from that depend on some details of our performance. It takes us two hours. It usually has eight or nine-thirty, and approaching our show, puts me adrenalin. At this point, I like the silence for a moment, gather energy and calm the emotions. At the end of the team will gather at a small prayer, we pray for our families, for a wonderful concert and I go out for kind of person who is easy to be nervous, especially before the concert, because you know, concerts begin as early as I enter the blood. Although I like to often change scenario performances, make something new and spontaneous. Of course there are times when I pass chills, for example, when I begin to wonder what would happen if I open his mouth tonight, but will extract from them, no sound ... Or when I played and all confuse me. But such doubts last four or five seconds, I can be rid of them quickly, and I'm ready for the show. |
