Description

This commercial featuring Alicia Keys begins with a closeup of the singer's eye while she narrates. The camera zooms in to her eye in an animated representation of her childhood home and the beginnings of her music career. It begins on a snowy night in an alley. A hopscotch court is shown with shadows creeping toward it, but the bright lights of Broadway win over the darkness. An animated keyboard twists through the city which is lit up lick a cartoon sun. As the camera continues to move back, the image turns into birds which then morph back into Alicia Keys' eye. We then see her using an HP touch screen computer to bring up one of her albums to play.


Voiceover, Dialog, Spoken Text, Script, or Lyrics

Where I grew up there was violence and crime, and in the other - the bright lights of Broadway. The first time I touched a piano, I knew which way I was headed. I poured my heart into every note of Empire State of Mind until it sounded perfect. And it kills me that people might not get to hear it the same way. HP Touch Smart, engineered with Beats Audio. Finally, hear music the way the artist intended. Only on HP. Everybody On.
