Alicia Keys and Jussie Smollett turned up the heat on Empire overnight with a duet of their uplifting ballad “Powerful.” The song I kinda like, who are we kidding it’s no HELLO! But the kiss, now that is a show shopper worthy of a Shonda clap.
Alicia Keys is guesting on the series as Skye Summers, a pop star and mentor to Smollett’s character Jamal Lyon. The two got down to work on their collaboration in Wednesday night’s episode and, well, it all ends in an intimate moment, that just left everyone(ladies) gasping for air to breath. Things just got a little bit confusing, what does the kiss mean?
Anyway "Powerful," is a song about hope, change and a “colorful future, where skin don’t define any human,” appears on Empire: Original Soundtrack, Season 2, Vol. 1 (Deluxe), The album dropped last Friday and Fox shared the audio for "Powerful" on the day of release.
