Music reviews of Unplugged (CD & DVD)
Music Review: Almost perfection... The DVD is more of a one time viewing event.
Rating: 4 Stars
Some artists sound great in the studio, but when it comes to performing live, it's a different story. Alicia Keys is not one of these artists. She is the real deal, the full package. And we've known this since day one.
She strips down her songs, like "Karma" and "You Don't Know My Name", down to the roots on this album. The result is beautiful. The instrumentation is amazing and the backgorund vocalists are great too. And Alicia's keys and vocals sound maybe even better than they do on the record!
She remakes two songs, "Every Little Bit Hurts" and "Wild Horses", which is the only flaw on this album. The track is not good to begin with, and Alicia and Adam Levine from Maroon 5 do not blend well together. She also has two new songs on this collection. "Unbreakable", the lead single, has a wonderfully old school vibe and it is a fantastic song. And "Streets of New York." It was recorded as a studio version with Nas and Rakim, but wasn't included on her last album. Instead she did it live on Unplugged, and the resulting sound is much better. It will send chills up your spine and the lyrics are just beautiful.
This live performance creates such an intimate and close experience that you feel like you're right there. The stripped down versions of these songs are just as good, if not better as the studio versions and her voice is pure gold.
This album brings back memories of when you didn't had one hit wonders who couldn't sing. But instead, you would have artists that have staying power for years to come.
But when it come to the DVD... This live concert is more of the type of thing you watch once or twice. Don't get me wrong, the music is superb and Alicia Keys is excellent, but the visuals are not really all too exciting. Or at least not good enough to buy this DVD. And it doesn't have any exciting special features to offer, so I would just suggest to buy the regular edition of this CD.
