AceShowbiz - Alicia Keys has given "Stay" ft. Lucky Daye a music video treatment. The visuals, which arrived more than a year after the release of the track, shows the singer playing piano in a white desert area.
In the Jean Sebastien and Kamerameha-directed clip, the 42-year-old looks stunning in a beautiful white gown. As the video transitions, her collaborator Daye can be seen singing his verse by the beach.
Before it ends, the scenic video sees Keys at a beach where white horses gallop through the water. The horses eventually surround the Grammy-winning artist as the sun sets.
"Give me more than I can take/ When I don't know what to say / You can read it on my face," she sings. "And we won't let time fade us/ 'Cause the love's right here / Love's right here to stay."
"Stay" appears on "KEYS II", the deluxe edition of Keys' 2021 double album, "KEYS". Speaking of the album, she told Rated R&B, "It is an invitation for all of us to show up to ourselves and not hold back any part of ourselves."
"I think a lot of us oftentimes feel like we have to dim it down and small it down. No, I refuse it anymore," she added. "I invite us all to refuse it because there's a power and a special energy that we all have."
"KEYS" itself consists of the Originals and the Unlocked version. Of the latter, the "Empire State of Mind" hitmaker explained, "It speaks so much to just like there being no limits, which is what KEYS is all about... It was all about imagining and dreaming in a way that just opened up the possibilities."
