This week 15-time GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Alicia Keys played the final night of her critically-acclaimed and stunning KEYS TO THE SUMMER TOUR at Los Angeles’ KIA Forum. The 22-city tour featured Keys, for the first time ever, performing in an intimate 360-degree in the round production set up which wowed audiences and critics alike.
Keys surprised fans at the Los Angeles show with a special appearance by Annie Lennox who joined her in a collaborative performance of The Eurythmics’ hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” which Keys performed on several dates of the tour.
Here’s what critics said about the KEYS TO THE SUMMER TOUR:
“An unprecedented and immersive concert experience” – The Source
“Immaculate from the first note” – Toronto Star
“A positively massive performance that pulled no punches as it sailed boldly through her stunning catalog” – The Charlotte Observer
“Alicia Keys is a national treasure… With two pianos, two high couture looks and a sprawling setlist over 30 songs deep, she crafted an unforgettable experience for the diverse crowd that packed Austin’s premiere concert arena.” – Austin American-Stateman
“Amid that lavish production… the New York singer-pianist drew from her deep well of R&B-pop work to craft a nearly two-hour show that was at turns elegant and empowering, intimate and anthemic.” – Detroit Free Press
“… this is a performer who has earned the right to play, to dance, to breathe in the glory of her eclectic and emotionally enriching body of work. As Keys said early in her set, ‘We’re here to break all the ceilings.’ And she certainly accomplished that.” – Chicago Tribune
“… the arena came together to indulge in love songs and uplifting records. The experience was made better by the 360-degree stage design that allowed Alicia Keys to interact with all corners of the arena. It was also proof of how this can and should become the standard for artists that perform in arenas.” – UPROXX
