To launch Here, Earle conceived a major release show and immersive installation. Taking over all of the screens in Times Square, Earle envisioned Alicia’s vulnerable music pouring out in the beating heart of the city. Longtime friends and collaborators Jay-Z and Nas joined onstage to celebrate the triumphant cultural statement. Earle also creative directed Alicia’s performances for A Take Away Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live, two outstanding achievements of look, sound, and presence.
