Earlier this year, the “Girl on Fire” hitmaker impressed the Grammys audience by playing two grand pianos simultaneously.
She treated the attendees and viewers at home to a show-stopping performance of the songs that she wishes she wrote herself.
Her set included Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly,” Juice Wrld’s “Lucid Dreams,” Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable,” Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody,” Drake’s “In My Feelings,” Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up” and Lauryn Hill‘s “Doo-Wop (That Thing).”
She finished up with a rendition of her 2009 hit with Jay-Z, “Empire State of Mind.”
Before she blew everyone away with her medley, Keys revealed that her double piano-playing skills were inspired by the late Trinidadian-born jazz and classical pianist Hazel Scott.
She said: “I wanna welcome you to Club Keys.
“I’ve been thinking so much about the people and the music that have inspired me, and I want to give a shoutout to Hazel Scott because I always wanted to play two pianos.
“But back to the music. You know those songs that live inside of you and live inside of me, and you just love it so much because it was done so well that you wish you wrote it. That’s how I feel about these songs. I wish I wrote ’em.”
