Alicia Keys has been the gift that keeps giving this holiday season.
Because fresh from mounting a mega-push for her festive album ‘Santa Baby,’ the 15-time GRAMMY winner is continuing the flow of content with a new acoustic performance ‘Not Even The King.’
Lifted from Keys’ 2012 album ‘Girl On Fire,’ the refreshed take saw the songbird accompanied on the keys by her son Egypt.
Speaking on the performance, the singer said:
“This is one of my favorite songs of all time!!!!!!! When I wrote it with Emeli Sande it was a deep expression about what’s real and what’s not. At the time, I was first coming up in the music world and I was seeing that people who had the appearance of wealth or endless access often times, weren’t very happy. It was an awakening for me because I could clearly see that on many levels money is just an illusion…”
