Bilal @ The New Morning

Bilal’s music, which we first and rather reductively qualified as new-soul, is one of the most fertile mixtures of Afro-American music that has been born since the emergence of gospel music: there mixes jazz, hip-hop, electro, rock, soul, funk and blues without complex. His voice, which reminds us of the seeds of stars named Prince and Lenny Kravitz and which he uses as an instrument in its own right, is capable of interpreting the greatest arias for countertenors, thanks to an aerial falsetto voice and its fluency in seven languages! Another comparison comes naturally to mind when it comes to Bilal: his stage performances remind us of those of a certain Jimmy Hendrix. He is as sincere and intuitive as the famous guitarist, with an added bonus! Find him on the New Morning stage accompanied by Micah Robinson (vocals), Jake Sherman (keyboards), Conley Whitfield (bass), Adam Jackson (drums), and Randall Runyon (guitar).
