Up there as one of the best soul tracks of 2010, Bilal releases much-delayed visuals for this track from his Airtight’s Revenge album. One that has only just left my rotation recently (after a 6-7 month stint!), this is an enormously replayable song that combines raw, unfiltered vocals with a melodic melancholy in the lyrics that is incredibly captivating.
The video certainly does justice to the song, with a solemn tale of a family raising their ‘little one’ that is later diagnosed with Autism. Always nice to see the spotlight on issues otherwise ignored in the public domain, and it’s certainly a fitting cause for this emotional track. Being mixed in with some dark, isolated shots of Bilal works nicely to both give him some camera time and keep the sombre vibe of the video intact.
Definitely worth both a watch and a listen, and I’d highly recommend you did both. Pick up that Airtight’s Revenge on iTunes now.

To recap: Trey Songz’s latest visuals, Khalil’s debut visuals, the official single from the upcoming Foreign Exchange album, Cee-Lo’s anticipated F*** You video, a fantastic cover of Outkast’s Prototype, and finally a new Trey Songz and Drake collaboration.

Consistency is the key, and like last week there are 18 tracks for you to check out. Pretty much full of names you should be familiar with by now, giving everything a go this week is made a lot easier in that respect.
Savour these episodes-next week could be my last R&B Friday for a few weeks as I’m going away. What/who will substitute for them you ask? Wait and see. Still one more to go after this one though!

Some very good music from new upcomers in this episode, and I expect you’ll definitely find a new artist to latch onto in here. Some stuff from R&B Fridays favourites such as Bruno Mars too of course, and plenty of it with a total of 21 tracks making the final cut for this episode.
Click on for that weekly R&B fix you’ve been begging for. Don’t pretend like you weren’t.

Visuals for Badu’s single from her upcoming album. Haven’t checked them out yet, but I expect them to be pretty interesting based on the track.

Very unexpected collabo. Apparently, there are 9-10 other version with different rappers in place of Lil’ Wayne that may surface: please, please let that be true.
The track is decent, although it is a bit mainstreamy compared to a lot of Erykah’s material. It’s not too bad though, and I’d much rather have Erykah and Bilal in the mainstream than most other people.
