Robert Glasper Experiment x Jill Scott “Calls” + New LP ‘Black Radio 2′

-

Start spreading the news: the Robert Glasper Experiment is releasing Black Radio 2–the much anticipated follow-up to 2012′s critically acclaimed Black Radio–on October 29th through Blue Note Records. Today, we have a Okayplayer world premiere of the very first leak from the new project: “Calls” featuring Jill Scott. The track shows off RGE’s skill at letting a groove sizzle while a vocalist takes center stage–and filling in all of the cracks around them. The album features most of the usual suspects, with Derrick Hodge on bass and Casey Benjamin on vocoder and saxophone. Drummer Mark Colenburg, (who has toured plenty with the group) has taken over the drum throne.

The record, like the last one, is set to feature a plethora of guests from all musical backgrounds. Common, Lupe Fiasco, and Snoop Dogg (thought he was lion now?) all represent the hip-hop front while Marsha Ambrosius, Anthony Hamilton, Brandy, and Lalah Hathaway are stand-outs from soul and r&b backgrounds. The pianist’s third album with his ‘Experiment’ band also has collaborations with Fall Out Boy‘s Patrick Stump, Norah Jones, and Emeli Sandé. Unlike the original Black Radio LP, this will feature almost all original compositions. With RGE’s ability to blend genres and influences so seamlessly, we’re very excited to hear what they bring to the table. Fans can also download the official Robert Glasper Experiment App, which has all of the band’s videos and tour dates. Stream the beautiful “Calls”below an scroll down to check out the tracklist.

I dug the first BR joint as well as the remix album that came out last Fall. The new track is pretty good, but I'm just hungry for more RGE. I need to see them again live too because they are FIRE live!!

Yeah, I bet they're fire. I gotta check them out.

they'll be at the Detroit Jazz fest over the Labor Day holiday wknd for FREE for those in the vicinity. Not sure what version of the group. but i like this combination of artists for the 2nd cd, just hope i can get a version with no Snoop on it! (i CAN'T STAND dude). first cd, left lots to be desired for me, it was more hype than quality tracks IMO. only Ah Yeah and Afro Blue got/get spin from me

I liked most of Black Radio; I considered it one of 2012's best.

There is a new "Dillalude" on the remixed album.

Looking forward to the next release.
