Director Mikaël Colombu and Bilal have collaborated on several projects in the past. The most recent being the Robots video that we debuted on The Sounds of VTech on Election Day 2010. This time around, Colombu plays not only the role of director, but of interviewer as well. Take a look and see Bilal answer some questions you might have about his new album, Air Tight’s Revenge.

I gave Bilal random card questions before that unforgettable Paris ‘Bellevilloise’ show he did in July, 2010. Here he talks of the name Airtight, the Love for Sale LP, and K-CI Hailey from Jodeci. On or off that stage, Bilal is a pleasure to film and I think I could do that all day everyday. The individual strikes you with a certain lightness of being and a false carelessness that’s very amusing, if not hilarious. His on stage self is literally Shakespearian at times. I guess it’s only worth noting because it’s a plus on top of why we legitimately love him. I hope you enjoy this small moment of time we shared with Bilal. – Mikaël Colombu

Bilal will be on the Mo’ Nique show tomorrow (Dec. 1st, 11pm EST)

Bilal’s Airtight’s Revenge is one of the best R&B albums of the year, and “All Matter” is the album’s best track. A minor-key ballad set atop turbulent drums, the song is made by Bilal’s unbelievable vocal performance, especially a surging “What is love?!” at the chorus and corkscrew, asymmetric singing in the verses. A sophisticated yet immediate track, Bilal shows how, even after a nine year (!) delay, he’s still in the vanguard of contemporary R&B. Airtight’s Revenge is out now on Plug Research.
