Bilal is Jon Hendricks + Walter Junie Morrison + Melvin Wilson (The New Birth) + Jeff Buckley + Donny Hathaway + Ronnie Dyson + Glenn Goines + Joey Dee (Cymande) + Jay Kay + Bobby Debarge + Andy Kauffman + George Duke + Oscar Brown Jr + Angelo Moore + David Byrne+ the unexpressed trauma experience of Trans Atlantic Africans & the accumulated marvel of our magic in a voice.
