Bilal show
July 30th, 2009
Jennifer and I went to a Bilal show in D.C. last night. Neither of us had seen him live. He was great. The man’s got an unusual, but extraordinary voice. And he completely killed my favorite song, ‘Sometimes.’ The whole place dug it.
I admit, Bilal is not for the amateur soul music fan. He’s often spacey and vocally spontaneous, both live and on CD. You have to just trust him — even through piercing falsetto vocal riffs — that there’s seasoned artistry happening on stage.
He didn’t disappoint.

His voice is SO dynamic!

Must have been a terrific show. He’s not for everyone, but that’s generally the case with truly original artists.
