Sh*t just got serious. One of my favorite piano players, one of my favorite singers and my all-time favorite orchestra! And, OMG, what an amazing execution and arrangement! Thank you Robert, Bilal and Vince Mendoza!
We're all the same And all so very different Divine by design It all intertwines Ain't nothin' new But it's always changin' Movin' still waters Soft yet so hard So what is love? (What is it?)

Cool on the outside Hot in the middle Cool on the outside Hot in the middle but You ain't even gotta try All you gotta do is realize You ain't even gotta try All you gotta do is realize (It's all matter) One great big small thing Like humming in the spring breeze A speck of dust In this vast universe It's just like a raindrop In the sea of consciousness Oh, it's all matter It's all matter So what is love?

This is so beautiful. I come often to hear this song. I pray often that whatever Bilal is on that he would get free and preserve this beautiful and unique gift.
Can't listen to the studio version after hearing this Bilal you played such a huge part in my development in becoming a Man because my Father wasn't there. I named my first born second after YOU 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤟💯
I'm damn sure on it. Bilal on that "cookies and cream." Magnificent performance Metropole challenged them to represent and Metropole ain't no joke, they can play with anybody!
These cats put on a great live performance...seen them 3 times in the past, minus Bilal. I love Bilal's unique vocal style. P.S. Check out Suite For Ma Dukes-Reminisce
He was probably extremely nervous. This concert was a big deal. I hope he will one day just rely on his superb vocals and be transformed by the renewing of his mind. Love him so much.
What an uninformed (if not stupid) comment, "I pray often that whatever Bilal is on......"! Bilal is ON, you should attempt to get ON and stop being OFF. Bilal has connected to the very highest level of artistry and can clearly handle the transmittance for those of us that cant , and wont ever be able to, get there. For this he should be thanked profusely and paid handsomely. Highest respect for Bilal!.
What a dumb statement of rebuke. You are trying to snap at one of the biggest Bilal fans ever. There is no greater admiration a person can have for his gift than I have not only as a music listener but as a musician myself. Secondly, I am "informed" by him through his interviews and music. An instrumentalist can smoke, drink or whatever and not be as affected as a vocalist can. When I see Bilal I see an extraordinary instrument, a gift to mankind and someone to be preserved. My comment can from a place of love. You sir are tripping.
Points well received sir. I apologise for offending you. I'll share with you, and the legions, the position of being one of the biggest fans ever of Bilal's artistry and accept that many of us will have differing viewpoints, all coming from a place of love and respect for his work. Respect.
I RESPECT THE MAN, HIS GIFTS AN ALL THE ABOVE. POINT BLANK PERIOD HE HIGHER THAN GIRAFFE PUSSY AND THEY CAME WITH A OUTSTANDING ARRANGEMENT TO GO AROUND IT. DUDE WITH THE FLUTE EYE ROLLING SAYS IT ALL. MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH( FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN HEAL THIS MAN FROM TOP OF HIS HEAD TO THE BOTTOM OF FEET FROM ALL THE ENEMY SAT BEFORE AN BEHIND HIM. LET HIM AND HIS VOICE SERVE AS YOU SEE FIT. TAKE AWAY WHAT WE DON'T WANT TAKEN N THINK WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT. ALL THE WHILE REFILLING US WITH MORE OF YOU N LESS OF US. AMEN AND AMEN THANK YOU IN ADVANCE A TRUE FAN
Not a fan of this actually, there's some good elements but I think the extra layers make it sound over produced. The orchestral additions are campy, and the mic transitions for solos and intro were bad. I'd rather listen to the version Robert did with Bilal, Derrick hodge and Chris dave in Paris at the Jazz festival in 2014 (I think). I don't think you need more than 4 players to really make that piece shine.

*Bilal and Robert Glasper were DESTINED FOR GREATNESS..* IT all started in their college dorm room.
They are great already
Rest Well, Casey Benjamin. This performance was the first time I truly heard you and am SO thankful for that. 🙏🏾
Sh*t just got serious. One of my favorite piano players, one of my favorite singers and my all-time favorite orchestra! And, OMG, what an amazing execution and arrangement! Thank you Robert, Bilal and Vince Mendoza!
Makes me emotional hearing this. He definitely tapped into his emotions singing this one along with Robert playin the sax
This is by far the best rendition of this song. From the vocals to the solos and the cohesion. Far out!
My favorite song...best version i have heard! Love it.
This is MEAN on levels I can not explain. It makes me calm and excited at the same time. WOW!
Nicole James well said sista
Nicole James yeah high level......... great performance though
Yes it does. Beautiful Music.
You get it..
instablaster
Bilal has performed this song 50 million different ways and each way has hit in a phenomenal way. Bruh!
I keeps coming back to this arrangement ❤
Legit goosebumps. Bilal, man.
Those horns though......................so nice!
We're all the same
And all so very different
Divine by design
It all intertwines
Ain't nothin' new
But it's always changin'
Movin' still waters
Soft yet so hard
So what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love?
(What is it?)
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
(It's all matter)
One great big small thing
Like humming in the spring breeze
A speck of dust
In this vast universe
It's just like a raindrop
In the sea of consciousness
Oh, it's all matter
It's all matter
So what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love?
(What is it?)
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter
(You ain't gotta try)
It's everything it ought to be
It's everything it needs to be, okay
Don't stand in the way
You'll only make it hard
Just keep it flowing
Flow with the ocean
And you'll be
Just where you should be
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep going, just keep going
Keep going just keep going so
So what is love?
(What is it?)
So what is love?
(What is it?)
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Oh, what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love, love?
(What is it?)
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter?
This is so beautiful. I come often to hear this song. I pray often that whatever Bilal is on that he would get free and preserve this beautiful and unique gift.
Just keep him lifted in prayer. Only God himself can give one such a gift. This man is unimaginably underrated and that's a fact-
I put my faith with yours on that, Amen!!!
Can't listen to the studio version after hearing this Bilal you played such a huge part in my development in becoming a Man because my Father wasn't there. I named my first born second after YOU 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤟💯
The combination is brilliant!! I’m a huge fan of both.
ROBERT GLASPER IS THE TRUTH.
Casey, Robert and Bilal I'm blown away.
This song always lifting up
This is special. Just just different and beautifully arranged. My ears have never experienced anything like this. Well done!
Our ears are so lucky!
The is no denying there is a creator, through all creation His traits are made SO evident! Praise J.G, for all eternity. The Grand Composer!
This is Breath-takingly beautiful!
I'm damn sure on it. Bilal on that "cookies and cream." Magnificent performance Metropole challenged them to represent and Metropole ain't no joke, they can play with anybody!
Bilal - I wasn't emotionally prepared for that performance. Truly breath-taking!

Greatly done
Mannnn this song is crazy!... but bilal is higher than 7 kites.
He was probably extremely nervous. This concert was a big deal. I hope he will one day just rely on his superb vocals and be transformed by the renewing of his mind. Love him so much.
I was thinking the same exact thing… 😳
beautiful - powerful!
What an uninformed (if not stupid) comment, "I pray often that whatever Bilal is on......"! Bilal is ON, you should attempt to get ON and stop being OFF. Bilal has connected to the very highest level of artistry and can clearly handle the transmittance for those of us that cant , and wont ever be able to, get there.

Speak on it!!!!!!!!
This exchange was handled very maturely. We can all agree that this man is a rare gift to music!
I RESPECT THE MAN, HIS GIFTS AN ALL THE ABOVE. POINT BLANK PERIOD HE HIGHER THAN GIRAFFE PUSSY AND THEY CAME WITH A OUTSTANDING ARRANGEMENT TO GO AROUND IT.
