‘These streets will make you feeel braaaand neeeew!.. these liiights will inspiiiiure youuuw!’
Empire State of mind has become a superhuman anthem, impervious to the usual killing fields of over-eager airplay on commercial stations.
It is also the song that we like to sing and reduce each other into fits of uncontrollable laughter and vitriolic skitting in the Purple Revolver office.
Alicia Keys has excited us further by announcing Grammy nominated R&B star Melanie Fiona is joining her for the upcoming The Element Of Freedom tour.
Canadian-born Melanie burst outta Toronto and onto the scene with critically-acclaimed debut album The Bridge in 2009, featuring the stunning debut Give It To Me Right.
Check out her www.myspace.com/melaniefiona
