Alicia Keys: Keys’ Beyonce duet delayed

Alicia Keys is postponing the release of her much-anticipated collaboration with Beyonce until the summer - so she can put out a track with Canadian star Drake.

The R&B beauties jetted to the slums of Rio de Janiero, Brazil in February to film a new music video for Put It In a Love Song, which they recorded for Key's latest album The Element of Freedom last year.

The promo was expected to air in March but Keys has revealed she's put the song on hold while she makes plans to promote Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready), which features vocals from singer/rapper Drake.

Speaking about her Beyonce duet, Keys tells Rap-Up.com, "Expect it right after my Un-Thinkable video. It's kind of nice that I have such a great video (with) such a great artist in the can. They're going to be able to see the Un-Thinkable video first and then see Put It in a Love Song, but it probably won't come until closer to this summer."

Keys has ruled out inviting Drake to make a cameo in the clip when she shoots it later this month but hopes to collaborate with him again in the future: "He won't be in the video. That's too obvious. (But) he's a great guy. I'm really proud of all the things he's been able to achieve, and we're most likely going to do some kind of remix for the song that'll be really good. There'll be more of me and Drake."
