Alicia Keys has released “City of Gods Part II,” a re-working of “City of Gods,' her 'Donda 2' collaboration with Kanye West and Fivio Foreign
that finds the Grammy Award-winning pianist and songwriter paying ode to her hometown of New York City.
Keys’ version of the track — which, like “City of Gods,” interpolates the chorus of The Chainsmokers’ “New York City” — combines the singer’s signature jazz-tinged piano progressions with the trap-inspired backing beat of the song featured on. “City of gods, city of dreams/City where nothing is never what it seems,” Keys sings on the opening verse. “They’ll never take you away from me/’Cause I see nothing but infinity.
The stripped-down video accompanying the track’s release features Keys decked out in full glam while posing alongside Mercedes’ Vision EQ Silver Arrow concept car. Keys, who serves as a brand ambassador for the German auto manufacturer, has made several appearances and performed at a launch event for the brand’s line of electric vehicles in November. Rapper Slick Rick also makes a cameo in the clip, placing several impressive articles of bling around Keys’ neck.Rolling Stone
