On October 29, Alicia Keys – alongside TV stars Kerry Washington and America Ferrera – filled out an all-star roster of hosts for the CBS election special ‘Every Vote Counts: A Celebration of Democracy.’
While there, the diva teamed with fellow GRAMMY winner Brandi Carlile to surprise viewers with new song, ‘A Beautiful Noise.’
Officially released as a single by Keys’ label home, RCA Records, the empowering record is an all-female affair and lists eight women as songwriters: Keys, Carlile, Brandy Clark, Linda Perry, Lori McKenna, Ruby Amanfu, Hailey Whitters, and Hillary Lindsey. Speaking on the new tune, which was designed to honor the 100-year anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement in advance of the 2020 election, Keys said:
“This song has that special energy that we really need to feel right now. Everyone has the power to make beautiful noise and to lift others up with their voice. And now more than ever, we need to let those voices be heard by voting. I’m so grateful to have joined my sister Brandi Carlile, a beautiful spirit, inspiring artist and incredible person, for this moment.”
