Black Radio [10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 3 LP]

Release Date: November 11, 2022

Robert Glasper Experiment's Black Radio from 2012 fuses jazz piano with hip-hop beats and neo-soul vocals, creating a sound that feels both organic and contemporary. The album features collaborations with vocalists like Erykah Badu and Lalah Hathaway, wrapping jazz harmonies around grooves that nod to J Dilla and D'Angelo.

Standout Tracks

• Black Radio: The title track featuring Mos Def sets the album's template with spoken word over hypnotic piano loops
• Ah Yeah: Features Musiq Soulchild and Chrisette Michele trading vocals over a deceptively simple groove
• Always Shine: Showcases Bilal and Lupe Fiasco over one of Glasper's most accessible melodies

Mood: late night, contemplative, sophisticated, urban
