Still not quite as good as H.E.R., but she salvaged what could have been a huge disappointment. Instead, we had Church's sleepy rendition, only salvaged by Sullivan bringing her all to her part, hitting the high notes he didn't even bother to try and making it memorable by the close. She's got the vocal chops, and the guitar would have added a whole new, cool element to it. It was an impossible act to follow, because all we could think as Church kicked off the national anthem was how incredible H.E.R. The duo were in a tough spot from the jump, though, following H.E.R.'s incredible performance of "America the Beautiful." She brought electric guitar into it a la Jimi Hendrix, accompanied with an incredible vocal performance. Paak.Ĭhurch, meanwhile, is gearing up to release a triple album project this spring titled "Heart & Soul."

The 33-year-old recently returned after a six-year break between albums with last month's "Heaux Tales," featuring collaborations with H.E.R. delivered a captivating take on "America the Beautiful." She rocked sunglasses, a leather jacket and sparkled jeans, and her performance culminated in a thrilling electric guitar solo played on her own H.E.R.

I think it will be cool to blend the different sounds of music and just show some unity. "We definitely come from two totally different, um, everything," Sullivan said. Sullivan told Entertainment Tonight in late January that she had never met Church, but was excited to blend their respective R&B and country sounds. Sullivan and Church had never collaborated before Sunday's game, held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with a scaled-back crowd of 25,000 fans due to COVID-19 restrictions.

It called to mind the 2006 game, the last Super Bowl to feature two artists duetting on the anthem: Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville. The performance belonged to Sullivan, whose powerful and passionate delivery outshone the more subdued Church. The song really took off when Sullivan, looking stunning in a jeweled headpiece and cream-colored pantsuit, joined in, effortlessly harmonizing with Church and showing off her stunning vocal range. Wearing a purple jacket and playing guitar, Church began the anthem solo, quietly singing with his soulful twang. The unlikely duo performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the top of the game, which pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
