Alicia Keys New Short Film

Alicia Keys released a new A.V. Rockwell-directed short film, The Gospel, and we kind of love it! The film is exclusively on Tidal so if you're not a subscriber it might be a little hard to find. Everything was shot in New York City, Alicia's hometown. Looking forward to the full album, Here, on Friday, November 4th!

 

Speaking of 'here' Kamau and I happened to be at a party at Pioneer Works, in Red Hook, earlier this year and Keys was there too! We all ended up on the W Magazine site. Click to see more photos!
