Alicia Keys and John Legend will battle it out on the piano for a special edition Verzuz Instagram competition on Juneteenth.
The weekly series so far has seen battles between Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Ne-Yo and Johnta Austin, T-Pain and Lil Jon and — in its inaugural competition, of course — Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.
Keys and Legend both reposted the piano picture on Instagram and promoted the upcoming battle, with Keys calling Legend “my brother” in her post while Legend noted that the event would celebrate Juneteenth. Friday’s faceoff likely will include renditions of old classics such as Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You” and Legend’s “All of Me” as well as new acoustic versions of songs not normally played by either artist on the piano.No one wins, by the way — but fans can watch the battles and then debate which performer should have.
