Reimagined rendition of “City of Gods” available now
Alicia Keys debuts “City of Gods Part II,” a reimagined version of her epic collaboration with Fivio Foreign and Kanye West, “City of Gods,” released earlier this year. The accompanying music video made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, BET Soul and BET Her, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards in New York City.
Featuring newly-penned verses alongside the impassioned chorus of the original track, “City of Gods Part II” offers a soulful, stripped-back piano rendition of the hit single that is quintessentially Alicia Keys. Alicia transforms “City of Gods” in an iconic new way that encapsulates the emotions brought forth throughout the original version, remaining a heartfelt ode to the city of New York.
Keys appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (Thurs, Apr 7th) for the debut television performance of the track.
This summer, Keys will head out on her Alicia The World Tour starting in June in the UK. US dates begin in August. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster. Stops include two nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’ Greek Theater, among others. Keys initially announced her long-awaited return to touring in 2020, but was delayed two years due to the pandemic.
