(May 31, 2024) Today, Glasshaus Presents unveils Grammy-winning artist Bilal’s “All For Love,” the latest single from forthcoming album Live at Glasshaus, a mid-career retrospective featuring a supergroup of Questlove, Common, Robert Glasper, and Burniss Travis. The live record presents Bilal within an ensemble of luminaries to reimagine standouts from his classic repertoire. Live at Glasshaus, out June 14 during Black Music Month, sees Bilal at the peak of his powers, pushing the boundaries of a genre-defying catalog including 1st Born Second, Love For Sale, Airtight’s Revenge, and Common’s seminal Like Water for Chocolate.

"All for Love" was a standout track from Bilal's shelved 2006 masterpiece Love for Sale, a project that has achieved legendary status among fans and critics alike. Despite its artistic brilliance, the album was never officially released due to a premature leak and subsequent disputes with his former label, Interscope Records. This resulted in the album becoming a cult classic and a significant part of Bilal's musical legacy. 

Bilal's live rendition of "All for Love" captures the raw emotion and intricate musicianship that have come to define his work: WATCH + LISTEN

Surrounded by an intimate studio audience of 100 fans, the project was recorded, filmed, and livestreamed from Glasshaus in Brooklyn, NY. With stripped-down arrangements and ecstatic performance, Bilal wove fresh interpretations of beloved catalog favorites spanning 23 years of recorded output. On June 9, fans around the world will have the opportunity to witness the epic one-night-only concert where the album was captured via a broadcast livestream. Tickets are now available from Glasshaus Presents: HERE

The setlist is golden: Nine songs stretched into fresh shapes and split up by interludes from Questlove and Common, the latter of whom he affectionately refers to as “my big brother” onstage. The interplay between Bilal and the band is alchemic.

In conjunction with the track release and livestream announcement, fans can now pre-order the 2xLP vinyl edition of Live at Glasshaus, a must-have for collectors and audiophiles. Pre-order from Glasshaus Presents here: HERE

After two decades of Bilal’s high profile contributions with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Beyonce, and Erykah Badu, Live At Glasshaus is a welcomed shift of spotlight––a historic performance by superstars devoted to Bilal as a G.O.A.T. deserving of our full attention. Glasshaus Presents and Bilal will be sharing more exciting news in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for details.

Praise for Bilal

“Bilal is one of the most pure, honest performance artists of this generation. Truly fearless and I consider it an honor to be allowed to create art with him. He is a true singer’s singer––I mean ask Beyoncé, Jay Z, J Dilla, Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper, Pharrell Williams, Solange, Terrence Blanchard. All the mavericks utilized his gifts and acknowledge his supreme craft. He has changed my standard for singing!”

Questlove

“His genius lies in being able to deliver in so many different spaces. This dude is somebody that will go down as one of the greatest.” 

Common

“It's so great 20-something years later that we're here and supporting Bilal, because he's always in our corner helping us, supporting us. He's your favorite singer's favorite singer.”

Robert Glasper
