  • I went to Bilal's private performance at the Ace of Spades office in Soho on Friday (July 30 2010) and let's just say it was AMAZING. His voice is beautiful and he filled the room even though he had no mic. Check it out!
    Guitar player: Michael "Mike" Severson

    I like to think about all the fun
    we had up on a cloud
    never thought we would fall
    back to the world
    gravity pulled us down
    then it tore us apart
    why can't things
    turn out
    like you wanted

    I just heard this song for the 1st time less than 2 hours ago & it's already one of my favorite songs. His lyrics in this song closely describes a familiar situation for me almost exactly. It was written almost as if I would've wrote the song about my experience. Incredible song!

    "THE DEFINITION OF NEO-SOUL"
    Neo-Soul is a timeless musical genre that fuses real instrumental, Jazz, contemporary R&B and 1970s-style soul,funk,and rock with some elements of hip-hop. As it's name (new soul) implies, Neo-Soul music is essentially modern-day soul music, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary R&B in that it's organic and obviously more soulful,and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings than R&B.

    If you know anything about the artist & his music you'd know that he doesn't have the typical mannerisms of most performers. He dives into the music & goes with what he feels. If he didn't want to be there he wouldn't have been there. He's probably feeling sorry for those people who can't listen to the song without snapping pictures.

    @albertj313 I agree. He mixes delving deep into his music and still manages to perform it according to the atmosphere. In this case, it was all acoustic in the company of a few inside of a small place. He completely captured the mood of the song as well as the mood in the room. Couldn't ask for more than that.

    I love Bilal's gift. He is also one of my favorite vocalist of all times from any era or genre! The way he explores his vocal range, bending notes and placing his heart on record through melodic ecstacy is truly original. However, I can only listen to this song every other month because it brings me to a place that is vulnerable and depressing. Master emotional conveyer!
