Alicia Keys is set to commemorate the release of her multi-platinum debut songs in A minor with a special 10th Anniversary Deluxe and Collector’s edition. To celebrate the occasion, she will also give an intimate performance at New York City’s Beacon Theatre.

The Deluxe two-disc and Collector’s Edition three-disc sets, due June 28, will boast special packaging and a beefed up booklet featuring new liner notes. Unheard tunes that didn’t make the original tracklisting will be featured on the new releases, including “A Woman’s Worth (Remix)” featuring Nas, the mixtape version of “Juiciest,” the previously unreleased “Typewriter,” and more.

Additionally, the Collector’s Edition will feature a documentary created for the commemorative release. The film explores the making of the album as well as interviews with Keys and those who worked on the Grammy-winning record.

“It’s incredibly surreal for me to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of songs in A minor,” stated Alicia. “Looking back on the journey, I’m truly moved by my fans and friends who’ve been with me and have supported me throughout my career. This album is possibly the most precious to me, as your first album only happens once, and so songs in A minor will always hold a special place in my life that’s filled with amazing memories.”

The New York native will also grace the stage at the Beacon Theatre on June 30 for the one-of-a-kind “Piano & I: A One Night Only Event with Alicia Keys,” where she will play songs from the album as well as cuts from her oeuvre.

“I’m so proud that the songs are still being enjoyed around the world, and I’m crazy excited to share, through the 10th Anniversary Edition, songs never heard before, and even more of my debut album with you,” she said.

In addition, Keys will perform at the BET Awards on June 26 and an hour-long special on her career will air on the network in late June.

Did you watch the video? There's going to be alternate versions, bonus songs and live versions. Sweet. I'm definitely getting this now.
Yeah I did. There's going to be a 3 disc set. smiley: eek I'd DIE for something like this for Mariah Carey. Alicia seems really active and behind this project, which I like.

I love her first 2 CDs, so I actually might be getting this.

Meh. Her debut isn't even that good and certainly not a 'classic' deserving of something like this. With most artists their debut is among their strongest works, but Alicia's debut is one of her weaker albums.

This is all exactly what happened with me...exactly smiley: laugh

I feel like she's sort of gotten better with each album. The next CD had like 3 songs I liked, and then the next had 3-4. This last one I didn't listen to enough to say. The debut is just a snore, though. I remember Vanessa Carlton's debut came out at the same time, and I was pissed Alicia got all of the hype. Vanessa's songs were so much better. "Fallin'" is like a chord or two, and people were raving about Alicia as a piano player. "A Thousand Miles" is a much more complex song. Vanessa hit the skids after her debut, though smiley: laugh

Alicia's first album is so boring, I don't like it either. The second one is her best imo, but it's an improved version of her first. And then she went on repeating herself making bad versions of the good versions of the so-so versions she did first. Her music kinda goes nowhere smiley: indifferent

I think Alicia's last two albums were pretty solid, I actually really like The Element of Freedom, many good songs on that one. Her debut is weak and The Diary was even worse.

Exactly what I was thinking.
