The next installment of Timbaland and Swizz Beats’ Instagram Live series Verzuz will see Alicia Keys and John Legend participate in a “battle of the pianos,” according to a Tweet by the latter artist.

Legend’s new album Bigger Love is also scheduled to release on June 19. As reported by Billboard, Legend said the upcoming release is “inspired by the loves of my life: my wife, my family and the rich tradition of black music that has made me the artist I am.”
