As Alicia Keys fans get acquainted with the expanded version of her 2021 album ‘Keys,’ aptly titled ‘Keys II’ (available for streaming now), the 15-time GRAMMY winner is pushing full steam ahead with promotion of the project by unveiling the music video for its housed tune ‘Trillions.’

Tapping rising R&B singer-songwriter Brent Faiyaz to co-produce and co-star, the tune is one of multiple new tracks that appears on ‘Keys II’ and comes as a rework of her previous tune ‘Billions.’

“Oh, no limit to the things that I do / Nobody else can say it ain’t true / I am a one in a billion (trillion), you are a one in a billion (trillion) / We got a one in a billion (trillion),” Keys croons on the catchy cut’s chorus.
