A Love Surreal, Bilal’s fourth studio album, cultivates the stratospheric vibe of John Coltrane’s spiritual jazz masterpiece, A Love Supreme, which inspired its title. Most songs here float around as if in zero gravity, anchored by subtle melodic hooks and producer Steve McKie’s gently assertive drums. Bilal’s tenor, taut and shiny as copper wire, spins out stories of complicated love. “Winning Hand,” with its paranoid edge, recalls vintage D’Angelo; the druggy “Climbing” could be a lost Sly Stone cut; the bubble-machine beats of “West Side Girl” nod slyly toward Prince. Playing with these influences, Bilal always remains his own man, his vision grounded in fierce intelligence and a commitment to letting stories unfold all the way to their sometimes sorrowful, sometimes orgasmic end.
