As Alicia Keys prepares to release her sixth album Here on Nov. 4, the singer shares a deep track titled “Holy War.”
On the acoustic track, Keys sings, “If war is holy and sex is obscene / Then we got it twisted in this lucid dream / Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin / Divided by difference, sexuality and skin.”
Keys performed “Holy War” earlier this month at the Keep A Child Alive’s Black Ball, which raised $2 million for AIDS research.
