Alicia Keys surely knows how to radiate for a glamorous cover turn. After dropping her Vegas girl gone soulful “Tears Always Win” video, the gorgeous Grammy Award winner graces the cover of the Evening Standard. She looks absolutely regal and elegant for the black and white cover photo, shot by photographer Eric Guillemain, and heats up in technicolor for the editorial. She looks lovely in her trend of the moment, a midriff baring two pieces, showing off her fabulous curves. In the issue, Alicia talks about growing up in the industry, her evolution as artist, wife and mom, and even about Rihanna. Hit the jump for more…….
ON GROWING UP IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
“It’s such a tricky, crazy business, and when people are a little bit younger than me, I’m always hoping that their soul is good ’cause it can be such a soulless space. Who’s really love you and making sure that you’re ok? Because everybody wants to make sure you’re ok when they can get something from you, and they’re getting a percentage from you. But they don’t technically care if you’re ok. They just wanna make sure you can stand so you can go to work. So naturally I am always thinking about people and hoping that in this very soulless place they can find completion.”
ON LOVING RIHANNA
“I’m proud of Rihanna. Because it’s not easy to stand up in this crazy world and make it and keep going and try new things. And find your way through it.”
Hmmmmmm, maybe we will see a Rihanna and a Alicia Keys due soon
