The 25 Best Alicia Keys Songs

Anthems and classics from one of the best to ever do it.

17. "Superwoman" - Alicia connected with hitmaking guru Linda Perry to write this inspirational Grammy Award-winning 2007 ballad, delivered "soft and subtle," but with an undeniably powerful message.  (Photo: J Records)
16. "When You Really Love Someone"  - Here, Alicia resurrects "A Woman's Worth" — boom-clack drums, cloudy keys and lessons for suitors-to-be — but this time with another couple years' wisdom and her rapidly maturing vocal prowess backing her up for extra oomph.(Photo: Frank Micelotta/Getty Images)
15. "Wreckless Love" - Alicia switches from breathy come-on to soaring shout on a dime over a lush brass backing, once again taking classic soul's swag into the new millennium.(Photo: REUTERS/Albert Ferreira)
14. "Teenage Love Affair" - Over a funky sample from the Temprees' 1972 "(Girl) I Love You," Alicia does her own take on retro R&B Brit-pop and takes on one of her favorite topics: infatuating, starry-eyed love. (Photo: J Records)13. "Unbreakable" - This single from 2005's Unplugged album uses a dog-eared Eddie Kendricks Wurlitzer riff for another Alicia trademark about everlasting, richer-or-poorer love.(Photo: REUTERS/Gary Hershorn)
