The 29-year-old singer also recently collaborated with Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce. They got together in Brazil where Beyonce is touring in the moment. Alicia and Beyonce chose Rio de Janeiro and the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, as well as the little town of Morro Santa Marta as setting for the video of their new hit Put It In A Love Song, included in Key's “The Element of Freedom.” Michael Jackson recorded the video for his hit “They don't really care about us” at the same locations.
Beyonce and Alicia Keys relied on colorful outfits for their new video. The white dress of Alicia contrasted with the green, purple and orange playsuit of Beyonce.This is the first time the two singers collaborate together but Alicia said that she and Beyonce were like “re-united sisters."
After the shooting in Rio, Alicia went straight to Dallas where she made an unforgettable appearance at the NBA All-Star game. After USHER had opened the event with his hits More and Yeah!, and Colombian diva Shakira had heated the atmosphere even more with her passionate performance of She Wolf and Giving It Up For Me, Alicia's time came. She performed a ten-minute set including the singles Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart, Empire State Of Mind and No One.
