Alicia Keys ain’t no diva.
The 12-time Grammy Award-winning soul singer kicked off her Element of Freedom tour in Ottawa this weekend.
Alicia let her music ‘do the doing’ for her in a dazzling musical experience that fans at Scotiabank Place hadn’t seen in a long time.
Designed, orchestrated and choreographed like a musical, with Keys being [...]

Tomorrow I am going to a little event in north London, England. It’s a Jazz shindig, and many great singers and musicians will bath my ears in the sweet honey of sultry vocals and instrumental harmony.

These times of hard across our world, how you gonna get through,

It’s Saturday night, you’re released.
You’re gonna give [...]

A loyal Twitter friend tweeted this tonight. I’d never seen it. Just watch it.
Watch what young people are saying. Saying to all of us.
I realize it’s a message, I know what it means and so do you, but sometimes we forget the real things that matter as the complexities of our busy lives cloud the [...]

Today I was saddened by a young woman on Twitter. She said she was unfollowing me because we’d filled her homepage. Bless. She only had 12 followers, so I guess we did sort of camp out on her page last night. So Kirsty Macdonald of Glasgow this is for you , sent with my heartfelt [...]
