I just rolled through his hometown (Richmond, VA) this past Sunday 1/19/2025 and thought, "What would D'Angelo perform nowadays?" No matter what, it'd be Fiyah. 🔥🔥🔥❤
Bilal has graced Tiny Desk before beside the likes of The Roots, Robert Glasper and Common. Taking his rightful place on center stage he did not disappoint!
@@m.a.6738 initial commenter said “most underrated”. Also folk’s addiction to hyperbole has gotten outta control. Folks just say stuff because it feels good without putting much thought, sadly
If you know you know frfr! I’ve seen him live 3 times this year. Each time was wonderful and different from small spots to the Kennedy Center! He’s got my❤❤!
Let me tell yall something. Bilal is a generational voice in the singing world. I have had the blessing to him live at Yoshis in Oakland, CA and let me tell yall....we ALL walked out of there on a new spiritual level. Please go see him live if you have the chance. He is AMAZING. Also check out The Roots Tiny Desk Concert when he brought the house down along with the Roots. May everyone reading this and watching this be blessed with good health, wealth, and wisdom. Peace
For those interested, Bilal did a very classy tribute to Curtis Mayfield with Ledisi and the WDR Big Band Orchestra. I always keep coming back to it. Its on YT, course
Whaaaaaaatttt!😮😮😮😮😮 " BACK TO LOVE," is one of my favs of his and of course " Soul Sista!" Early 2000's and 90s Soul music, unmatched...MISS YOU BILAL❤❤🎉
One of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. clicked so fast 🦻🏽 🎶 his tones, his phrasing, his vowel placement , his song writing/ story telling … magical ✨unmatched excellence
Man, I cannot tell you how many imagined unrequited love stories I've cried about listening to (and trying to belt out 😂) "When Will U Call" as a teenager. This was magical. ✨ Also, fingers crossed this means D'Angelo is in the cards for a tiny desk soon. 🤞🏼
15:22 come on Soul Sista!!! Because this song still hits like grits! Bilal knew what he was doing on this one. Since 2001 and it still sounds new to me. Like what!!! Timeless classic. 🤎
Being latinoamerican , discovered soul and r&b later in my life. I've never heard about Bilal. I know he's a great artist of the genre now. I'm so glad I'm listening his music from now on. THIS is the kind of music and voices that I enjoy. I worship Anthony Hamilton( also discovered him through Tiny), Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, D'angelo, Bill Withers, Otis Redding, just to name a few of the greatest male singers... I'm glad my Soul universe is still expanding. Thank you
How did I not know this was happening!! Bilal is hands down one of the best artists of all time times. Talent beyond measure!! Oh this performance will most definitely be on repeat!! 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The incredible Bilal, as usual!
D’Angelo next please ! 🙏🏾
And also Musiq Soulchild 🙏🏽
YES PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I support this! I need a D'Angelo one ASAPTUAL!!
Broooo I might pass out if they get D’Angelo on here!

The most underrated R&B singer of my lifetime. His songs with Common, Kweli and Kendrick are incredible
The most underrated R&B singers are the ones you don’t know about.
Thats not what underrated means but to each his own opinion 😂 @@waynedexter
along with Lianne LaHavas, he's def my fav of the last 25 years

When Will You Call is my favorite song by Bilal. So nice to hear it on Tiny Desk.
Honestly, only other song I would’ve wanted to hear was Sometimes
Fun fact: That track was produced by Aaron Comess - a member of the rock group the Spin Doctors.
Sometimes it's my jam
Queen Sanity one of my favourites by Bilal
