Carpool Karaoke: What we learned from the first trailer

Alicia Keys and John Legend appear in the new series

The first trailer for Carpool Karaoke has been released and, not gonna lie, the cast list is pretty impressive.

A celebrity jumping into a car and singing with James Corden has been a staple of The Late Late Show since he took over as host in March 2015. But now it's becoming a TV series in its own right, with new episodes released every week on Apple Music.

The first proper trailer gives us a little taste of what to expect from the 16-episode run. Carpool Karaoke is no longer confined by silly little details like, you know, actually being in a car.


"This is the next level," says Will Smith, as he guides James Corden towards a waiting helicopter at one point in the trailer. Gravity schmavity.

Appropriately, the first song they sing once they are in said aircraft is, of course, R Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly.

Reports that they also belted out a rendition of Westlife's Flying Without Wings could not be immediately confirmed.
