Jamie Lidell Perform at The Teatro Lara on July 28th

British vocalist Jamie Lidell is heading to Madrid for a live show later this month.

Known for his experimental approach to soul music, the 37-year-old performer has released a series of critically acclaimed albums on the influential record label Warp.

His gig at the Teatro Lara on Thursday July 28th should give fans in the Spanish capital a chance to hear tracks from his most recent LP Compass, which came out in May last year.

The show is due to begin at 22:15 local time, with tickets priced between €18 and €20 (£16.10 and £17.90).

Lidell, whose recent exploits have included opening up for Prince and releasing a remix EP of songs from Compass, has collaborated with cult musicians such as Gonzales and Feist.

Both artists made contributions to the recording of his latest album, which also features production by Beck and Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear.

Lidell's songs reached a wider audience when Multiply, the title track from his 2005 album, was featured on the soundtrack to popular US drama series Grey's Anatomy. [Source: allvoices.com]

Alicia Keys Perform: Piano & I Concert in New York [Video]

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut album, 'Songs in A Minor,' the always amazing Alicia Keys brought the house down tonight (June 30) with an exclusive-to-AOL acoustic solo concert special, live from the Beacon Theatre in her native New York City.

On a candlelit stage, outfitted in a custom-made, black-sequined Givenchy suit jacket, Alicia transitioned from a piano prelude to the Beatles' 1968 hit 'Blackbird' to open her 'Piano & I' spectacular. During the welcome to her fans and viewers that followed, Alicia couldn't hide her hometown pride, revealing, "The city really wrote a lot of that first album."

Alicia performed a medley of covers, including "big inspiration" Mary J Blige's 'Real Love' and Marvin Gaye's 1972 hit 'Trouble Man.' Alicia admitted she "stole" another of her idol's songs because she "loved it so much" -- Brian McKnight's 'Never Felt This Way,' which she then covered.

As Alicia recounted her endless hours spent riding the New York City subway, it became clear that her concert was a heartfelt tribute to her hometown.

The superstar informed audience members that they were required to sing along with her before launching into 'How Come You Don't Call Me,' a Prince cover she made all her own on 'Songs in A Minor,' followed by several other classics from the Grammy-winning 'Songs in A Minor.'

Alicia continued the acoustic show on the keys with classics from sophomore album, 'The Diary of Alicia Keys,' like 'Diary' and 'Karma,' followed by audience-voted 'Like You'll Never See Me Again' from third album, 'As I Am.' Her latest LP, 'The Element of Freedom,' got some love with 'Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart' and a powerful performance of 'Un-thinkable (I'm Ready).'

'If I Ain't Got You' was dedicated to the fans, and Billy Joel's 1967 'New York State of Mind' turned into 'Empire State of Mind.' In keeping with the 'Piano & I' concert title, Alicia performed the song brilliantly, all on her own.

She concluded the two-hour set with an inspirational rendition of 'Sure Looks Good to Me' and an emotional version of 'No One,' to a standing ovation. [Source: theboombox.com]
