New York, NY – August 19, 2025 – Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, and AK Worldwide proudly announce the release of Unplugged 20th Anniversary, a deluxe 2-LP black vinyl edition of Alicia Keys’ landmark MTV Unplugged performance.

Alicia Keys’ original Unplugged performance made history as the first Unplugged by a female artist to debut at number one and became the highest debut for a MTV Unplugged performance since Nirvana’s iconic session in 1994. The 20th Anniversary Edition brings that milestone performance back to vinyl, celebrating the classics from Songs in A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys alongside a cover of Brenda Holloway’s “Every Little Bit Hurts”.

The release will include a medley of “Goodbye/Butterflyz” and bonus track “How Come You Don’t Call Me” recorded during the MTV Unplugged performance and available on vinyl for the first time ever. Pre-orders for Unplugged 20th Anniversary Edition are available now.
