Bilal's Min-Documentary Series (II)

Bilal's break between his first album (1st Born Second) and second release(Airtight's Revenge) was about nine years, but the singer will not allow a huge delay in time for his third effort.

He is wrapping up the recording for his forthcoming album, with plans of releasing it this year.

On his style, Bilal says, "I look at the music that I do as kind of as collage art. Jazz musicians that I knew having them play with Blues cats that I knew and sampling that with Hip Hop being played over it."

Leading into the project, Bilal has released a mini-documentary series entitled Being Bilal. The singer, whom has been allowed access beyond his creative point of view, offers individuals a deeper perspective on the full range of his personality.

I was at this show sitting 4 feet from the bass player. Great show.

My boy Kameron Corvet opened ths show and was every bit as good as Bilal.

There was another album inbetween. Love For Sale which was shelved by his record company leaked in 2006. IMHO it is his best effort. These `neo soulers` arnt exactly renown for being prolific!!

I don't know if its his best, but it sure was waaaaaay better than his "official" sophomore album.
