absolute class. I can see bilal went for the retro Isley brothers feel (Harvest for the world, Summer breeze, etc) on the key arrangements and chrous..genius!!
its was like my soul just opened up and agreed. i didn't have the words for how I felt until I found this song. it changed not just my day.. but they way i have been feeling about myself, about my love... and how it grows. thank you for posting this.
Bilal is so talented. The wild Autoharp strumming cracked me up because it made me remember the days back in 4th grade music class when our teacher was teaching us how to play them. Wished there were more artists like Bilal (including him) recognized on the radio. Its good driving music.
I love his music... It reminds me of the beauty, mother and child, such things. Baby smiles with it's soul, charms my own. I love it that much. Breath for a body which creates more then life, gives mine purpose... Just because. I love it that much. A sister who hugs her younger brother, just to help him cope with being on punishment, because she loves him, suffers just as much; I love it that much... That much, I love it!
When i hear bilal's music, i see so many movie scenes going on! When a artist can paint a vivid picture with his voice....thats real! Bilal's music speaks to your soul, thats why you cant do a damn thing but sit back and listen when his music is being played!
1 of the best songs I've haerd in a minute bsides Anthony Hamiltons work...Amazing Amazing, Amazing, content, vocals etc. Dis song sounds like my love life. Im glad Artist Like Bilal exist Ive followed da boi since his debut and he has neva disappointed. Even in the lil 8 second feat in Fightn Temptations He rockd
This song saved my life after my mother died in Dec. 04....No hyperbole or bullsh!t. The "Love for Sale" record actually came along right when I needed it...It's a masterpiece.
my wife found this artist and has been listening to him alot recently and the more i'm listening the more i realize that this guy is on a totally different level than so many other artists. i can only name several artists who actual have such a deep feeling sound like he.
is it possible to be in love with someone you never met? (lol) OMG! his 'stuff' is off the chain!!! i'm a 'old school' girl & to me, his music is right at home along side Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, etc..!
I have been a recent fan of bilal.(late I know) but when I i was taken to his concert in FABRIC london...the love was instantaneous...this song live was emotional on other levels espcially when he did those high notes..wow."I am a seeker in search of a dreamer"...sweeet!

@ Walib....bro u cudnt of said it any better. the man is a genius....period. i sit back nd ponder how the world would b if artists nd songs like this wud b mainstream......instead of wocka flocka. lol
All I can say is... Every Hit, Every Album adds to the Soundtrack of my life!
True Testamonials... His Notes, His Range and His Messages Always Hit Home!
A Timeless classic artist very much in the footsteps of Prince - "Eccentric" and "Crafty" Always Inclining his Style and Never Settling fore the Standard Box!
Peace @Chiktail! Naw, fam was really wild about that one jam and made me a better believer with that cut only. I hope you find it and maybe even post it. I'd like to hear :)
A homeboy of mine blessed me with a Gilles Peterson podcast with this jawn some years ago and I nearly lost it at the first listen. So beautiful to find this jewel here! Bless up, @soulsleepers
@iampsalmbody ooooH Men Im looking for that Giles Peterson podcast, where I sang that Make me Over, and Let It Go with an acoustic band ... do you have it ?
Why, Oh why?? He's such a talent...why hold him back? The industry is wrong for that!! I believe he'll have his day! Keep sanging Bilal...you are much loved!
No time for regrets, Who lives in rehearse, This is a true artist-skilled in writing lyrics and his vocals-Love Bilal, He is much better than the radio music, this is mama's mac n cheese, the radio is like kraft boxed mac n cheese
Bilal is the most UNDERATED,UNAPPRECIATED artist in the game hands down!!! All the execs at his label should be fired! Both of his albums should be 3x platinum plus!! They should change the name from "love 4 sale" to "love on the shelf" because thats where they put GREAT MUZIK!!
agreed, esply with the state of music today, he should be at the top of his game, he is anachronistic, should have been around when people appreciated real music not nw! xxxx
To feel this is peace, to be able to listen to this makes it all worth living. The universe resonates with this, in time this will be known to the happy few as the right road to true happiness and freedom.
Thank you for this, whatever we may call it. If we have to call it anything at all that is.
This album has to be the GREATEST album of all time to be shelved. I mean the album is incredibly innovative, impeccably composed and produced, and flawlessly performed. It's light years ahead of its time and timeless at the same time. Music doesn't get better than this. It boggles my mind that this was shelved. It would have went gold, solely on word of mouth. This song could have caught fire on the radio and made the album platinum. This album is getting the "Kamaal the Abstract" treatment.AH!
this song is s beautiful piece of art. Its a shame that it wil never be released!!!! I talked to Bilal on Wed. in Philly at the World Cafe Live... his show was AWESOME (*_*) He did some new material and his new cd is dropping in Feb. 2010. Can't wait! (*_*) BE READY TO BE BILALED! (*_*)
YES!! this is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE tracks from BILAL. i defy one person to tell me they dont hear the passion ooze from this song....its haunting.
"...may think im a fool, but still, i did it ALL FOR LOVE..."
How can such a classic artist be soooooooo underrated?......oh yeah.....because people don't want classic anymore.....they just want "hot"........let's keep the state of music in prayer.........
i know this might sound corny but some of bilal's songs are more like an experience 2 me more so than just another song, truly an extraordinary artist. his sound and soulfulness is engulfing
@soulsleepers its not that they are dim..they prob know he is crazy talented but it seems like the majority like to hear something different so they take what will sell not necessarily being a better quality...but thats the sad part of the music industry
you captured exactly how i feel about this music.......this particular song is a perfect example......I find myself swaying to it......almost in a trance
@soulsleepers I wouldnt say Prince. Prince is great and Bilal is great 2 different Greatnesesses (i made dat up) But Da boi is Cold tho. He might just b a betta vocalist than Prince 2. OOOppps
Walib, there's nothing wrong with your comment. In fact, I think it's sad that you you even paraphrased it with "this might sound corny" and thats not a shot at you in anyway. Today's society...the media n all,,,have us thinking it's wrong or weak to be real. I feel your comment is real and true to you...let it be that, dont justify it for anyone. Same way the say its wrong to have feelings is the same way they push 50 Cent and put Bilal on the shelf..its crazy man.
@Walib Not corny at all...... he is fully enveloped in hi music, that why you feel it IS an experience when listening to him. I love his music! A true talent!!!!!!!
@Walib you're right on. he is a true artist. he relates true life experience. and most of us really experience the same things. there's only so much we really do in life, it's just colored differently. we love. we breathe. we grieve. we anger. nothing new under the sun.
@Walib Thats exactly how I've been feeling about the new ones "All Matter" and "Restart", its a complete experience, and I've let them overtake me, LOL willingly!
@Walib you captured exactly how i feel about this music.......this particular song is a perfect example......I find myself swaying to it......almost in a trance
@soulsleepers actually got a chance 2 meet bilal 4 a quick second last week and i got a chance 2 tell him how great a song this was. i first asked him if he wrote it and upon him saying yeah he wrote it himself i told him how great of a piece it was. i think its necessary so that even when the labels dont think your art is great that the people can give u the REAL. he was spectacular live. great performance
Labeling this music as 'neo-soul' is selling it short...
Bilal, like m o s t truly great musicians, will be understated in the main stream.
Maybe that's for the better? For the worlds who know...
