The Global Citizen Festival is the annual marriage of music and a message and that missive is the mission to dismiss poverty once and for all across the globe.
Happening the last Saturday of September in New York’s Central Park, this year’s outing – the event’s 8th edition – was headlined by the likes of Pharrell Williams, Queen + Adam Lambert, Carole King, OneRepublic, H.E.R., French Montana, and Alicia Keys.
The latter, hot on the promo trail of new song ‘Show Me Love’ (click here to watch its official music video), also took the opportunity to show off a few gems from her prized discography including ‘Empire State of Mind,’ ‘No One,’ and more. Joined by H.E.R. for a sensational rendition of Aerosmith classic ‘Dream On,’ look inside to see Keys rock this year’s festival like only she can:
Empire State Of Mind is a classic ?? Who doesn’t know that chorus? I’ll wait ⏰
“Dream On” was not a good choice for them to attempt, and Alicia’s new single doesn’t translate well live, but the other two songs are always fun to hear.
My gosh what a classic and phenomenal song Empire State of Mind. Fantastic performance too. Love her.
Home wrecker !
