In advance of her upcoming album Here, Alicia Keys performed in Time Square on Sunday night (October 9).
The 35-year-old singer sang alongside several special guests, including John Mayer (the two sang “If I Ain’t Got You”), Nas, Questlove and Jay Z for a performance of their chart-topping hit “Empire State of Mind.”

Feel sad that you could not attend the event? No worries! Cameramen shot the entire concert, which means you’ll be able to watch it in professional footage in the coming days/weeks exclusively on the Jay Z owned digital platform.
Alicia Keys’ Here, which is executive produced by Swizz Beatz, is out November 4.
