In a soulful, emotional revisiting of songs from nearly three decades ago, Bilal invites audiences to experience music in its most magical and purest form: on a live stage. With help from some old pals from his noteworthy career (Questlove, Common, Robert Glasper, Burniss Travis), they use their modern musical instincts to refresh the tracks that cemented them as pillars of the explosive neo-soul movement of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. We recently sat down with Bilal to unearth some of the motivations behind this album, and the contributing factors that led to this heartwarming musical reunion on Live at Glasshaus (Glasshaus Presents).
To truly understand Bilal’s musicality in reference to how he approached the development of this album, we had to get into the root of his musical awakening: his upbringing. Hailing from Germantown, Philadelphia, Bilal got most of his early inspiration from the culture in his own backyard.
