Editorial Reviews

Robert Glasper Experiment will release Black Radio (Blue Note Records/EMI), a future landmark album that boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip hop, R&B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. The fi rst full-length album from the GRAMMY-nominated keyboardist's electric Experiment band--saxist/vocoderist Casey Benjamin, bassist Derrick Hodge, and drummer Chris Dave--Black Radio also features many of Glasper's famous friends from the spectrum of urban music, seamlessly incorporating appearances from a jaw-dropping roll call of special guests including Erykah Badu, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Lalah Hathaway, Shafi q Husayn (Sa-Ra), KING, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, Stokley Williams (Mint Condition), and yasiin bey (Mos Def).

Throughout, the Experiment wears its eclecticism on its sleeve, presenting new collaborative originals and surprising cover songs. They transform the Afro-Cuban standard "Afro Blue" with Badu, Sade's "Cherish The Day" with Hathaway, David Bowie's "Letter to Hermione" with Bilal, and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with Benjamin's vocoder vocal

I love Robert and every time I listen to his music I feel held. I don't care but there is nothing like a tender holding in the arms of someone who makes you feel welcomed, wanted, safe. That's what this CD does for me. I become the young, fearless, adventuress young woman full of hope and wonder of the Universe, which for me was once just the city of Baltimore, my family, my lovers, friends, music and books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic mix of musical styles
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2013

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this CD earlier this year. I'd read the rave reviews and was intrigued, but I'd never heard anything by Glasper previously, and I'm not much of a hip-hop fan. But I love the old Blue Note jazz albums and am a huge fan of 60s and 70s soul, totally worship genre-bending artists like Gil Scott-Heron, as well listen to tons of pop and rock music. So, I have pretty broad tastes in music and thought: why not take a chance on this one? Well, I don't love it all, but I like the mix of musical styles and the daring way that Glasper presents everything on this album. To my ears there's not much jazz on here, but then again that depends on how you define the genre. Instead, this is like an urban music buffet: a bit of hip-hop, some jazz touches, a lot of soul grooves, and a bit of rock (he does some interesting covers of songs by David Bowie and Nirvana, as well as jazzier tunes by Sade and Mongo Santamaria). At times, Glasper's piano is unneccessarly buried under a wall of beats and vocals, but other times, his subtle riffs are easier to hear, and appreciate. Favorites on this CD include the lovely "Cherish the Day," the soaring "Why Do We Try" with vocals by Stokley, and the clever cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Listen to this album with an open mind and you'll find these songs becoming part of your soul. Quite impressive

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz Neo-Soul Fusion at its FRESHEST!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2012

Big, big props to Robert Glasper for this moving project. The aptly titled cd blends the voices of many of Neo-soul's talents with Glasper's amazing jazz depth. As a jazz vocalist (myself), I find it incredibly difficult to find musicians willing to share the improvisational stage in new ways in the jazz genre. This project changes the game. I am sooooo encouraged by this effort. The project is sticky with the evolved soul textures of Ledisi, Meshell N'degeocello, Music Soulchild, Erykah Badu and several other awesome talents.

The biggest problem in music today is the pigeon-holing of every cd. Radio stations seem afraid to risk playing a cd that includes colors of jazz, neo-soul, AND hip-hop. If it doesn't only represent a singular genre it is somehow "confusing" or "unfocused." If you listen to most of the "jazz innovators" of the past they always found beautiful ways to fold other genre styles into their music (Miles Davis Doo-Bop for example). Unfortunately, this is of the ONLY remaining ways to revive any new jazz music on the radio. Most "jazz" stations play dusty, old, antiquated, historical selections. Many would think there are NO new jazz influenced artists in America. Truth be told, they all have to play in other countries in order to make livable wages in the jazz genre anymore...SAD!!!

Bottom line, please support this VERY talented artist. The project has beautiful examples that display how jazz, soul, neo-soul, and hip-hop intersect!!! Hope future projects will include the likes of Amel Larrieux, Rahsaan Patterson, Jill Scott and Angie Stone would be nice :-)

I first learned of Robert Glasper in 2009, when I heard his outstanding version of "Maiden Voyage/Everything in its Right Place" from the In My Element release. Since then, I have delved into his catalog and found it to be outstanding on many levels. The work Glasper, and his extensive list of collaborators, has been doing in the past few years is nothing short of game-changing. Black Radio takes this to another level. This album is a musical and creative silver bullet. I have found myself deeply moved by it numerous times in the week since I first got my hands on it. My expectations were set extremely high leading up to the release, yet somehow Black Radio exceeds them. I will admit that I was skeptical of the extensive electronic element Casey Benjamin was planning to bring to the table before I heard the album. However, I could not help but to be completely won over by Benjamin's contributions on Black Radio. A dynamic musician working with multiple instruments, he projects rich vulnerability in his vocoder work on several tracks, and takes the lead on the outstanding "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Chris Dave and Derrick Hodge are in a league of their own on drums and bass from start to finish.

I cannot recommend this album highly enough to do it justice. It is, quite simply, mind blowing. I suggest you do as I did and experience it without interruption and via headphones, especially on the first listen.

This is the best album of 2012, and one of the best of all time.
