Earlier this year she joined Jamaican artist Cham when she shared her ghetto story on Ghetto Story Part 2. This time around, Alicia Keys joins Nick Jr's Backyardigans for a special episode which promises to take preschoolers on a musical adventure through outer space.

The Grammy Award-Winning Keys guest stars as the animated "Mommy Martian" along with her niece Shakyra Lipscomb, who plays baby "Martian Boinga", on an episode titled "Mission to Mars."

“After speaking with kids who said they loved The Backyardigans, I knew this would be a great project for me to get involved in,” said Alicia Keys via a press release. “Working alongside my niece was so much fun and the people at Nick Jr. helped to make it a great experience. I can't wait to see it all put together to make one great episode.”

In addition to voicing the bright green extraterrestrial, Keys sings an original song entitled, "Almost Everything is Boinga Here."

Keys makes her cartoon debut in "Mission to Mars" on Monday Oct. 9 at 10:30 am ET/PT.
