Alicia Keys teams up with SiR to perform a rendition of “Three Hour Drive” off her new album, “ALICIA” for “A COLORS SHOW.”
Alicia Keys’ own performance comes on the heels of the her brand new album, ALICIA, which is an exciting new instalment in the singer-songwriter’s lengthy career. The album finds Alicia comfortably trying out new trends as though she’s been doing them along, before moving on to the next record and putting on yet another new sound. Yet, everything moves smoothly, transitioning from the upbeat and high-energy opener “Truth About Love” all the way to the very Jill Scott track, which is not only titled “Jill Scott” but features, yep, Jill Scott. Despite being considered an OG in the R&B space at this point, Alicia comes across as new and refreshed through out the project.
The Sampha-featured “Three Hour Drive” is another album stand-out (check out our R&B SEASON playlist here for all our favorite ALICIA cuts), and the song that A COLORS SHOW has decided to highlight. They’ve recruited SiR of TDE fame to stand in Sampha’s place, perhaps due to various COVID-19 restrictions.
How’s SiR do in Sampha’s place? Take a look at the performance and let us know what you think of Alicia’s new album in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
Three hour drive, I’m headin’ nowhere
I’ve got the time now that you’re not here
I keep travelin’ by, travelin’ by
Lookin’ for love, you got me lookin’ for love
– Alicia
