Alicia Keys is a bona fide music superstar, with more than 30 million albums sold and 16 Grammy Awards to her credit. So it stands to reason that Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen, a musical built on her music and lyrics, is a songwriting master class, featuring tunes you know by heart and others you’ll likely go home humming for the first time.
Here are a few of the show’s biggest hits.
“Fallin’”
This soulful, signature ballad off Keys’ 2001 debut album, Songs in A Minor, immediately established her as an unstoppable force. It won three Grammys, including Song of the Year, at the 2002 awards ceremony.
“You Don’t Know My Name”
The first single from Keys’ 2003 sophomore album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, featuring a story of unrequited love and a throwback ’70s vibe. Last year, it ranked among Billboard’s Top 100 R&B/Rap Songs of the 21st Century.
“If I Ain’t Got You”
A timeless ballad off Diary that recently eclipsed 1.5 billion streams on Spotify, built around the immortal lyric, “Everything means nothing if I ain’t got you.”
“No One”
An upbeat number off Keys’ third album, 2007’s As I Am, with a chorus tailormade for a stadium-sized singalong: “No one, no one, no one/Can get in the way of what I feel for you.
“Empire State of Mind”
Keys helped turn this song on rapper Jay-Z’s 2009 album The Blueprint 3 into a megahit with her soaring vocals. It has became an unofficial anthem for New York City through the years.
“Girl on Fire”
Keys wrote this track from her 2012 album of the same name after the birth of her first son, and it quickly became a beloved celebration of female empowerment and strength.
