Алиша Кийс

Another Way to Die, the 2008 title song of Quantum of Solace, was written by Jack White and sung by him with Alicia Keys — the only duet among the Bond themes, and the first of them to be recorded by two artists. Keys had come to it from Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan by way of the Professional Performing Arts School and a classical piano training begun at seven; Songs in A Minor, released in 2001 when she was twenty, sold twelve million copies and took five Grammy Awards in a single night, among them Best New Artist and Song of the Year for Fallin'. The Diary of Alicia Keys, As I Am and Girl on Fire followed, along with a Broadway musical, Hell's Kitchen, drawn from her own songs and her own upbringing, which opened in 2024.
