Besides their obvious enthusiasm on stage, Keys and Marr each took immediately to Twitter to make their fandom for each other known: “Brother!! That was literally one of the best moments of my LIFE!!! Thank you for blessing me and Manchester!!!!!” With that many exclamation marks, who knows what else is in store for these two crazy kids? My kingdom for a Keys-Marr version of “Ask…”Ĭheck out the 40 Best Smiths Covers Ever here. 'The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away,' Keys said. But according to Complex, it was also written in reaction to the September 11 attacks in New York and the untimely death of R&B singer Aaliyah in 2001. But the mutual admiration between Keys and Marr is the key. The sixth single from Keys's second album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, was inspired by her personal life. Given her expansive range, it’s a shame that Keys doesn’t do more to make the straight-ahead take squarely her own the whole thing feels a bit karaoke-adjacent, even considering Marr’s royal drop-in. Keys meets the classic indie pop banger in the lowest portions of her register, digging in with a full-on Morrissey-esque delivery. Midway through the show, Keys invited Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr to the stage for guest spot on an unexpected cover of The Smiths’ “This Charming Man.” After a mini-set at the center of the Queen’s recent Platinum Jubilee festivities (I always knew Elizabeth II was the titular “Girl On Fire…”), Keys journeyed up the country for a subsequent performance at Manchester’s AO Arena. We’ve included songs like Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down, You Don’t Know My Name, Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart, Girl on Fire, Fallin, No On, Karma, If I ain’t Got You, Un-Thinkable. Empire State of Mind no more: Alicia Keys is going full-on Brit this month.
