I'm also going to be doing something called past, present and future, posting music for all three sections. My first post of this involves 2 of my favourite artists. First up, representing the past is Bob Marley, the greatest reggae artist of all time (in my humble opinion) the more I hear his music, the more I like! And some of that stuff is 30years old!
The second artist is Bilal, I remember the first time I heard his first album, the time I saw him at Jazz Cafe (I think it was 2006?), eagerly waiting for his second album, throroughly enjoying his second album and watching him go from strength to strength since.
I have decided to let Bilal represent the present because of this cover version. The emotion he puts into the live video is amazing, nothing short of what I have come to expect from Bilal ever since I saw him live. This video also made me think of D'Angelo and what he could be doing if he was still on the scene.
Bilal also represents the future because I think he has something good to say and if people listen then the future can only be helped. Also it is a very cool and futuristic video.
Directed, shaped and cut by Mikael Colombu for Mikael Colombu Films. What a cool guy!
Enjoy! J Moles x
