The Robert Glasper Trio cover of Musiq Soulchild’s “So Beautiful” Live at Capitol Studios.
Now celebrating the release of their new LP, Covered, The Robert Glasper Trio shares their video performance of Musiq Soulchild’s 2008 Grammy winning song “So Beautiful.” About the song, Robert Glasper told Billboard:
“I wanted to do songs by friends of mine, and it is one of my favorite songs of the last few years.” … “It is Musiq’s best vocal performance so I was really feeling it. And the message of the song is really beautiful.”
For those who haven’t listened yet, or are thinking about listening, Covered is a truly beautiful album. A few of my favorite tracks are “The Worst,” “I’m Dying Of Thirst,” and “In Case You Forgot.” Watch the video below, and also view the dates for the trio’s upcoming worldwide tour at the bottom.
