Alicia Keys Covers Post Malone's 'Congratulations'
Alicia Keys is giving Post Malone the cover treatment.
The R&B songstress put her soulful spin on “Congratulations” during Saturday’s iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. With help from her band, Alicia played the piano while rapping along to the 9x platinum Stoney hit.
“Now they always say congratulations / Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation / They ain’t never had the dedication,” she sang.

Keys is now working on a new album, the follow-up to 2016’s Here. “It reflects where I am today—the deeper acceptance I have of who I am as a full human being, the flaws, the pieces that I used to push aside because I wasn’t ready to embrace the anger or the fear or the crazy,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
