Singles 1983-1995, ★★★★.
Notes: I on't really care for compilation albums on the whole, but Alien Sex Fiend is kind of hard to come by in any form. One of the very few deathrock bands I listen to, surprisingly enough; it's pretty much this and Christian Death. …

Sam 11 juin – Alicia Keys

Last night was the 1st concert of Alicia Keys' "Piano & I" tour, a 4-date concert dedicated to the release of her very 1st album, Songs In A Minor, 10 years ago.

The concert started at 8:05pm with a 1st part. It was a French singer who sang for 25 minutes. She sang songs from her forthcoming album and covered 2 songs as well: a Michael Jackson song and an Angie Stone song, Brotha.

After waiting for 1 hour, Alicia arrived on stage at 9:30pm and played an introduction on her piano. It was a black and gold piano and candles were around it. It was very classy.

Then she thanked us for being here with us and told us she would be explaining to us where she was from, where she grew up and the songs she'd listen to when growing up.

She started with Butterflyz, then Girlfriend. After playing those 2 songs, she cover a DeBarge song, and continued with Troubles, A Woman's Worth, Never Felt This Way & Goodbye. She also told us the songs she played with her best friend.
