2019 is the year of unexpected yet ingenious collabs with Alicia Keys. First, SZA and Alicia Keys covered Aretha Franklin at the Grammys . Then, Keys joined Tierra Whack on stage for a surprise performance at Afropunk . Honorable mention to Keys covering Billie Eilish 's "Ocean Eyes" on Instagram — not quite a collab, but we'll take it. And now, Keys teamed up with Miguel for fiery new song "Show Me Love."

But the power of the collab doesn't end there. The soulful new R&B track is accompanied by a new music video directed by Cara Stricker . The sonic installation features Michael B. Jordan, Zoe Saldana, and her husband Marco Perego Saldana in a triptych expressing different stages and experiences of love.
Keys gave a brief explanation about the visuals in her Instagram post , in case you're the kind who likes to read the book before you see the movie.
"The many experiences of love: self love, love with another, love from creating, spiritual love. The push, the pull, the struggle, the joy, the eventual peace," Keys wrote.
Stay tuned: Keys explains in another post that "Show Me Love" is from a forthcoming project. Her last album Here was released in 2016.
