NEW TRACK: Robert Glasper Experiment Feat. Erykah Badu – ‘Afro Blue’

Posted In Jazz,New Music by

Covering the Mongo Santamaría classic ‘Afro Blue’ (made famous by John Coltrane), Robert Glasper enlists Erykah Badu and together they’ve crated a beauitfully soulful contemporary Jazz number. Naturally Badu’s multi-textured vocals suit perfectly. The song comes off Glasper’s forthcoming album Black Radio, which will also feature collaborations from Bilal, KING, Shafiq Husayn, Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def and others – due out in February.
