But that’s the excitement of live music – it’s spontaneous, moving and yet still familiar. But sometimes, she lets that get the best of her, and once in a while, she does go a little overboard with the improvisations. Could Ciara put out an Unplugged album like Keys? Of course not. She isn’t just a face or a singer she’s a full-fledged musician. Keys proves what most people already knew – that she is a rarity among her breed today.
Keys’ cover song isn’t quite as momentous as Carey’s, but is nonetheless a worthy attempt. The twosome performs an angelic rendition of the Rolling Stones song, “Wild Horses.” It sounds like Keys is following in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, when in 1992 she covered the Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There” and rode that cover all the way to the top of the charts. Levine’s already popped up on records with the Ying Yang Twins and Kanye West, so hearing him croon alongside Keys isn’t a stretch.
Levine is clearly trying to pick up Justin Timberlake’s recently lost title as the “cool white guy” in hip-hop and R&B. Alicia Keys is not just a singer, songwriter or pop star. Of course an Unplugged album isn’t complete without a duet, and Keys brings along the most in-demand, blue-eyed soul singer out right now: Maroon 5’s Adam Levine.

Keys doesn’t just run through old material, she gets the crowd moving in their seats with her upbeat ode to famous black couples in “Unbreakable:” “We could fight like Ike and Tina/Or give back like Bill and Camille/Be rich like Oprah and Stedman/Or instead struggle like Flow and James Evans/Cause he ain’t no different from you and she/Ain’t no different from me.” It’s an uplifting dedication to love and ambition with Keys working her magic on the piano while her band builds up the song throughout the verse to get to the hook, where Keys chants, “Unbreakable!” Keys makes the song a statement and manages to make it sound like a blast at the same time.
