Alicia Keys’ 2013 Tour On Fire
Keys celebrated the Nov. 27 release of Girl On Fire by getting the honor of flipping on the switch to light up NYC’s Empire State Building Monday evening (Nov. 26) with a light show synced to the beat of the album’s title track. The tune was followed by a light show that went along with Keys’ 2010 hit “Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down.”
The Grammy award-winner wrote and produced Girl On Fire in collaboration with Jeff Bhasker, Salaam Remi, Frank Ocean, Emeli Sande and Jamie xx.
Keys has a few more dates to do in 2012. Tune in to “The X Factor” to see her perform on the reality show tomorrow, Nov. 29 with season one alumni Josh Krajcik. On Dec. 4 she’ll be in Hollywood to play “A Celebration Of Carole King And Her Music.”
Following a few TV appearances in Europe, Keys will take the stage at “12-12-12” (A Concert For Sandy Relief) Dec. 12 at NYC’s Madison Square Garden Arena.
