BILAL-AIRTIGHT’S REVENGE [ALBUM SNIPPETS]

Last month, I attended Bilal’s listening session for his upcoming release (we’ve been waiting almost a decade for) Airtight’s Revenge. He chronicled each song reflectively, explaining the personal meaning behind each track. This is a very emotional record for the singer, with traces of politics, passion, and resilience sprinkled throughout it. He said Bilal fans that are looking for love songs are going to discover a new side of him through this project. It’s a very different sound from what you’re probably expecting.  It might be a grower for some. But as it blared through the speakers, the people in the room were moved at points. It’s heavy and beautiful at the same time. And the songwriting is Bilal at his finest. Here are some snippets. I think “All Matter” is my favorite. September 14th it’s all yours. Streams after the jump. Indulge.
