In a press release, Robert Glasper said, “‘Better Than I Imagined’ is an ardent dedication to the value and virtue of Black love.” He continued:
This Friday, August 28, Robert Glasper will be performing at the March on Washington, which falls on the 57th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech. He’ll be joined by bassist Derrick Hodge. Earlier this year, Glasper played on Leon Bridges and Terrace Martin’s collaborative single “Sweeter.” Glasper also formed the group Dinner Party with Martin, Kamasi Washington, and 9th Wonder.

"Better Than I Imagined" Passive past it
I been thinking about mad shit Happened action Baby we never lasted Magic madness Maybe you was just gassing But it was better than I imagined Drastic acting To you we was just practice Sadness mask it Hated you with a passion Had it granted Baby I didn't cap it 'Cause it was better than I imagined Thought it'd be worse 'Cause it hurts me But still I can't See myself with no one else 'Cause it was better than I imagined Better than I imagined Trust me love me No I could never make you Stay true hate to say it But it's too late my expectations Too low you can't relate to Baby but I don't blame you Baby you were the one I always escaped to Day two replace you Maybe I'm just afraid to Call you Need you to tell me if it's okay to Is it okay I Thought it'd be worse 'Cause it hurts me But still I can't See myself with no one else 'Cause it was better than imagined Better than imagined 'Cause it was better than I imagined Better than I imagined In a scramble to get a flight I lost my phone and I'm calling you from the hotel phone I couldn't get a flight back to the states I realize you're the only number I know by heart Last time I was here We were together, remember? I tried to tell you How I felt I Then you stopped me, you were Then you said Don't ruin it Because this is better Than I could have ever imagined I hope you're okay staying inside I hope you're not lonely And I'll call again maybe you'll answer Because this is better Than I could have ever imagined

I am into Robert Glasper as well, although sometimes it sounds a bit same-ish to me. RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

yea that off key piano vibe thing I start expecting, but he's done more jazzy neo soul type stuff and straight out paino driven renditions | |

His album Canvas is what I expected Prince to do with things like NEWS, etc. Brilliant guy whose piano playing is warm and evocative and poetic. | |
