1. Alicia Keys: Songs in A Minor
In a way, it's easy to think of her as this year's Jill Scott: An R&B
songstress with a marvel of a voice and an out-of-nowhere smash
debut that earned both critical praise and mainstream success.
But even more than Scott, perhaps, Keys represents the apex of
R&B's 18-month-long winning streak. A classically trained pianist
with a bluesy, emotive voice that recalls a young Aretha Franklin,
with a socially conscious bent that recalls '70s Stevie Wonder, the
20-year-old Keys appears to just be hitting her stride. We can't wait
to see what she does next.
