Love for Sale

Bilal's second album was famously shelved by Interscope after it leaked online — what surfaced is a maximalist, slightly unhinged R&B record that sounds nothing like what radio wanted in 2006. His voice goes places most singers won't, and the production ranges from straightforward soul to something closer to psychedelic funk. It's a messier record than 1st Born Second but more interesting for it, sitting closer to the spirit of Voodoo than anything else that came after that album.
