Sam Smith and Alicia Keys have teamed up for a sensational duet of Smith's hit "I'm Not The Only One," marking a celebratory moment for Smith’s debut album "In The Lonely Hour," which recently turned 10. The album catapulted Smith into stardom, making them the only artist in 2014 to sell one million copies in both the US and UK.
To commemorate this milestone, Smith threw a karaoke extravaganza at NYC’s iconic gay bar, Julius’. The night was hosted by the fabulous drag queen Lady Bunny, who doubled as the DJ, keeping the energy high and the vibes immaculate. The highlight of the evening? A surprise duet with the legendary Alicia Keys, which Smith described as "a dream come true."
Keys echoed the sentiment, adding, "This is amazing. Can you believe we’ve never done this before? Until now? That's crazy!"
The dynamic duo delivered a stunning performance of "I'm Not The Only One," a track that originally peaked at number three on the UK Charts. Their voices melded perfectly, creating a magical moment that had everyone in awe.
In other news, Alicia Keys recently lit up the stage as one of Usher’s special guests during his Super Bowl performance. She kicked things off with a snippet of her classic "If I Ain’t Got You" before Usher joined her for a nostalgic rendition of their 2004 hit "My Boo."
Keys has also been busy surprising fans, like her impromptu 10-minute performance at London’s St. Pancras Station last December. She treated commuters to an array of classics including "Empire State of Mind," "If I Ain’t Got You," "No One," and her latest single, "Lifeline."
This electrifying collaboration between Smith and Keys is not just a celebration of past successes but a reminder of their enduring talent and the magic they create when their worlds collide. Stay tuned for more surprise performances and musical magic from these two powerhouses.
