Now this is what R&B music should sound like, Bilal puts it down on this one, the infectious groove, the melody, the soulful, harmonious vocals, 2K's R&B at its finest, and a nice video too, much respect for Bilal...
Unfortunately the 'Love For Sale' fiasco ruined the momentum of Bilal's career. The gap between the first album and his latest one was too long for the casual listeners who where interested to see where he would go next. That's the fickle nature of show business. Most don't stick around if your out of the picture (unless you're Sade). The show must go on!
I remember watching this video as a 9 year old when it came out - the summer of 2001......those were the days man! Music was still in its purest form then! What happened?!
There isn't really many artist today who posess the type of grounded & soulful music that Bilal does. He's seriously the man. Loved his debt but his sophmore project is NOTHING TO F*#@$ WID..ya heard??!!!!
I remember when this join came out - summer of 2001! Yeah! I was 9 years old then bumpin Bilal! Now I'm 19 and still bump this like it came out yesterday!
LOVE FOR SALE was the best.Not so sure about this new album though. esp after seeing him live on an off day (i know everyones entitled to those).Its funny too how we imagine artists but looking at this now and having seen his latest vids/interviews, his personality is shining through even here.maybe his journey will parallel ceelo (who left us but is coming on back home),lol.
I'm back a year later and this video isn't even at 100.000 views yet?, but this guy Tinie Tempah has 30 million plus views?..something is wrong here my people. I see people need that quick Fix when it comes to music. Me, I Need everlasting. What a joke the music scene is now. The artist who dominated the scene not even that long ago are the underdogs now & damn near forgotten. Like how can Bilal, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Lauren Hill. Etc..How are they not as popular..Pop has taken over Hip-Hop.
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DUNT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THISISSO SCARYCAUSEITACTUALLYWORKS
i luv me some Bilal great music wish he wuldve had more than 1 album tho. i would appreciate if he returned with something to give a a break from all these party songs. The men singers not really doin nuthin right now. Bilal u love it and I love U. His whole album all the way thru was fiyah.
@onle1mayya Love for Sale was unreleased but leaked on the internet, you can get your hands on it though. It's a eccentric sound, different from his 1st and 3rd album, but you will enjoy it!
See even though i jus found this guy today i can already tell that he has that cool crazy weird quality to him that i know i'll love and many ppl love about him
It's people like this who we should have making more real RnB music now a days
And "Love the Way You Lie" has almost 4,000 times as many views as this does. It's a damn shame; some of his soul needs to rub off on the rest of the world.
now i know this might sound funny but i think he was the lead singer for the group the boys the singers name was bilial he was the eldest child in the group and also this singer resembles him alot so i think its him.
This man is fucking amazing interescope is fucked up for not promoting this obvious genius I love this man his music speaks to my soul keep rockin BILAL
@novelrealm That is her. I put it back and double cheked just to make sure. Interesting. I've seen this video a bunch of times and I never noticed her.
@juswolf22 Love For Sale is his 2nd album it's available on the Internet for free ! look for it .. . he has a third one coming out september 14th but it's more on some experimental lane, still you can find some really smooth stuff on it, check out his new song "Think It Over" on youtube
grown folks music!..Bilal is dope..i like to call this hip-hop soul music..oh yes..This album is classic IMO..dope production..meaningful substance songs..what more can you ask for?..
This is a real vocalist with no auto tune. Real music don't sell because the industry targets the youth who don't know any better than to thing Chris Brown is amazing!
Now this is what R&B music should sound like, Bilal puts it down on this one, the infectious groove, the melody, the soulful, harmonious vocals, 2K's R&B at its finest, and a nice video too, much respect for Bilal...
