- Summary:
- Though sometimes associated with the nu soul scene, Bilal is an artist that defies categorization. With ties to hip hop (Guru, Common ...) and beatmaking, the singer has chosen the path of innovation more often than not, as demonstrated by In Another Life, his surprising 2015 album. Endowed with a proverbial open mind (he notably covered Radiohead's "High And Dry"), Bilal starts his set on the Moods stage with the impeccable "Sirens II," a haunting theme that stands at the crossroads between rock and rhythm and blues. The next two hours are a testament to his tried and tested formula. With Randall Runyon on guitar, Tone Whitfield on bass and Joe Blaxx on drums, the band unites over an ambient repertoire. When listening to the jazzy sequences, and more particularly to "Naima," a John Coltrane track that Bilal gives a dazzling interpretation of, it becomes clear how the group acts as a conduit for different styles. Often electric, sometimes psychedelic, the set evokes the performer's beginnings with the legendary Soulquarians, as well as the work of close friend Adrian Younge, the boss of Linear Labs studio and author of the recent Jazz Is Dead sessions.
