A kung fu fighter in a disco

'If I Ain't Got You' I always remember as the song which OLYMPIC HEROINE Kelly Holmes used to inspire her on her way to winning those gold medals - a lovely anecdote in itself but also evidence of something Alicia Keys does very well, which is to tap into very vague universal sentiments of "longing" or "melancholy" and imbue them with a great deal of non-specific soul, which makes it very easy for the listener to feel a sense of identification with her songs and apply them to their own life circumstances, whatever they may be.

I love Alicia!
