Not since “New York, New York” has a Big Apple anthem had the traction of “Empire State of Mind.” Yet hip-hop giant Jay-Z’s ode to his hometown wouldn’t have had the same staying power without Alicia Keys’ impassioned chorus. The 29-year-old singer and pianist demonstrates formidable range and talent once again on The Element of Freedom (2009), her most recent studio disc. And just in case you haven’t had enough, the album’s “Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down” sees her recast one of last year’s biggest singles in a typically soulful form.—Jason Anderson
