Alicia Keys takes a rare trip away from the piano for the music video of her new single “Time Machine.†Keys, who’s set to host the Grammys for the second year in a row on January 26, dropped the old-school video Wednesday night after announcing the 2020 Grammy nominees on Wednesday morning with Bebe Rexha and Gayle King. After such a jam-packed day, it’s fitting that Keys chose to end the day by releasing a smooth, old-school, throwback of a track like “Time Machine.†The music video, directed by Art Johnson and Keys’s brother Cole Cook, depicts Keys as a roller-rink attendant who ends up putting on skates and hitting the rink with her girlfriends. The whole thing is flirty and fun and even includes a well-acted cameo from rapper Tierra Wack. “Time Machine†is set to appear on Keys’s forthcoming seventh studio album.
