Another image showed the pair posing together with city skyscrapers towering above them in the background.
Keys flashed a glimpse of her toned midriff in a cropped, blue knit sweater as well as a pair of high-waisted, blue bottoms.
Alicia's locks were pulled back into a sleek bun, preventing any loose strands from falling onto her face.
The No One songstress accessorized the look with a pair of gold, heart-shaped earrings as well as gold-chained necklaces. For a finishing touch to the outfit, the beauty also sported a pair of fashionable shades.
Sam stood behind the beauty in a long-sleeved, white shirt which was layered with a black and white-colored vest on top.
Smith captioned the post with, 'I'm Not The Only One feat. the truly incomparable @aliciakeys. Coming Friday August 2nd.'
'I am so honoured to have such an incredible talent and a beautiful soul join me on this track to celebrate a decade of In The Lonely Hour.'
They continued, 'Released with the digital versions of In The Lonely Hour (10th Anniversary Edition) this Friday.'

Last month in June, Smith was joined by Alicia for a surprise duet of the song, I'm Not The Only One, at Julius' bar in NYC.
During the performance - which saw Keys also playing the tune on a piano - Sam gushed, 'Thank you to Alicia Keys. This is a dream come true,' per Billboard.
The songstress responded with, 'This is amazing. Can you believe we never did this before? Except for right now? That's crazy!'
Smith later jumped to their Instagram page to share a photo of the two that was taken at the bar in Manhattan.
They wore a sleeveless, black shirt that had the name of the bar Julius' written in green lettering on the front. Sam also wore a plaid skirt that was secured with a thick, black leather belt wrapped around the waist.
Keys held a big smile on her face as she sported a black, cropped top as well as a pair of high-waisted, blue pants.
Smith wrote, 'Celebrating 10 years of 'In The Lonely Hour' in one of my favourite places in New York, @juliusbarnyc.'
'Thank you @aliciakeys for making the evening even more special,' the British-born music artist also added.
