"Get Back To Love" with visuals. Don't mind if we do. Bilal yesterday released his charming new video for the most recent single off his upcoming A Love Surreal album. Playing a quirky relationship counselor named "Dr. Love," Bilal somehow helps his maddened clients get back to their happy place.
Look for A Love Surreal on February 12.
Just a couple days ago, we shared with you Bilal's cover of Stevie Wonder's "Too High," which was to say the least - brilliant. And as promised, Bilal dropped his The Retrospection mixtape this week to go along with it! Download for free below.
Curated by Vikter Duplaix, the hour long mix takes us on a seamless journey through Bilal's colorful career. Easy to hit play and just let it go. Nice to enjoy this while we all anticipate Bilal's upcoming album, A Love Surreal.

Um, yeah. Bilal covering Stevie Wonder? Lots more where this came from, please! This particular tune shares a smoothed out, jazzed up take on "Too High" and immediately moves listeners to a nostalgic happy place. The instrumentation is compliments of Yesterday’s New Quintet (Madlib), too!
The track is featured on Bilal's upcoming mixtape, The Retrospection, presented by Vikter Duplaix. Absolutely cannot wait!

Earlier today, miss Janelle Monae unveiled a new tune from a fellow Wondaland artist Roman GianArthur. And man, is the guy a talent. The above is his new track that mashes together D'Angelo's "Send It On" with Radiohead's "High & Dry." Freakin' sexy. What the hell.
Dude sounds like a blend between Van Hunt, Bilal, and some fresh 'n new radio R&B youngin'. Can't compete with that. Oh, we mention that ol' boy over here also produced the track? No biggie.
