I'm sure you've heard this Alicia Keys track "Unthinkable" (I'm Ready) getting alot of airplay. This single is from her latest album 'The Element Of Freedom. Ths is a collaboration Keys did with rapper Drake (who's also on backup vocals).

Don't hate them because they're beautiful. Alicia Keys; Pharrell; and Jessica Alba are just a few of the hotties that are on Interview Magazine's 20 Most Beautiful People Of The DECADE list. Each of these artists have one thing in common- they've graced the covers of the magazine at one time or another. They were each interviewed in this special issue and asked to speak candidly about something we may not have already known about them.
Alicia Keys' pet peeve
"The not-so-unstated rule that women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy".
On how Pharrell finds solace
"I've found at times that I turn things that bother me into songs, which is super-therapeutic".
Sidenote: At a certain point in 2003, about 43% of the songs played on American radio were produced by Pharrell's production team The Neptunes.
On how Jessica Alba prepared for her dance routine in the movie Sin City
"I was terrified. I'm not an extrovert. So, I just went to a bunch of strip clubs to do research. I would have to get a little tipsy, though, because it's kind of intimidating talking to these women with incredible bodies who are writihing in front of you. But I learned some stuff from them. I hit about four strip clubs in L.A., two in new York, and two in texas".
