Video: Alicia Keys Tumbles At Essence
During Day 2 of the Essence Music Festival in NOLA, Alicia Keys takes a spill on stage. The singer, who earlier this year confirmed that she is indeed pregnant by and engaged to Swizz Beatz, lost her footing and fell backwards during her performance.
Alicia, being the dynamite performer she is, gets back up and keeps performing “Love is Blind” as if the fall never happened.
Independent Artist Feature: Greenspan
As an independent artist putting the final touches on your debut project, you are aware that the odds are against you. You don’t have any major label push behind your album. You have fought to have your music played on local stations, and your marketing and promotions team consists of you and your close friends.
The success of that project solely depends on the talent you possess with headphones on and a mic in front of you. Baltimore, Maryland native, Greenspan possesses the talent required to see the success of a debut album.
Greenspan’s debut project, Got Green?, not only received excellent reviews from the Baltimore City Paper and URB Magazine, but his work has landed him performances on tour with WALE, Wiz Khalifa and The Cool Kids.
Greenspan has been sponsored by Scion and The Gap, and has received placement on blogs and major radio stations.
His most recent project, When the Sky Turns Green was released in 2009 and more quality music is on the way.
