Alicia is joined on stage by musical counterparts Common, Mos Def, Damian Marley and Maroon 5's Adam Levine for several memorable collaborations, including a rousing rendition of the Rolling Stones classic 'Wild Horses'.
"This MTV Unplugged is such an amazing and eclectic musical experience which enabled me to arrange the songs with a new perspective, express myself musically, and connect with my fans on a different level then ever before," says Alicia. "It's an honor that MTV is bringing back Unplugged for me and I can't wait for you to hear these new songs! You're going to love them."
