Originally released on June 5, 2001, ‘Songs In A Minor’ spawned the hit singles ‘Fallin”, ‘A Woman’s Worth’ and her cover of Prince’s ‘How Come You Don’t Call Me’. It bagged the New York singer, songwriter and producer five Grammys.
To celebrate the album’s landmark date, Keys has released a special edition set that features two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original album recording sessions, ‘Crazy (Mi Corazon)’ and ‘Foolish Heart’, the latter of which was the first song she ever recorded.
Sharing news of the album on Twitter, Keys shared a selection of photos from the ‘Fallin” video shoot, asking: “Where were you when you first heard this song?”
