Fresh off the American Music Awards with two unforgettable performances of "Empire State of Mind" with Jay-Z and her new single "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart," 12-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys goes into high gear with a whirlwind of activities in support of her fifth album The Element of Freedom out December 15 on MBK Entertainment/J Records.

In addition to "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" and "Doesn't Mean Anything," The Element of Freedom features Keys soulfully soaring solo version of "Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down," a beat-driven duet with Beyoncé on "Put It In A Love Song," "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)" with background vocals provided by Drake, the reggae-tinged "Love is My Disease," a 80's funk jam "This Bed" and more gems. The album features production by Alicia Keys, her longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, Jeff Bhasker, Swizz Beatz, and Noah "40" Shebib. Complete track listing below.

Keys recently made her national TV debut performance of "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart" on Dancing With The Stars and recreated that magic Sunday night on the 2009 American Music Awards. Up next are performances on The Today Show Outdoor Concert Series (December 4) and Oprah (December 30) where she joins country music superstar Tim McGraw for a duet performance of John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" for the holiday show.

She'll continue to spread holiday cheer on NBC's Christmas at Rockefeller (December 12), followed by performances on Late Show with David Letterman (December 14), The Colbert Report (December 15), The View (12/16), BET 106 & Keys Live Special (December 16) and a return visit to The Today Show (December 17).
