    Kendrick Effect or no, In Another life is a future classic.

    Fleeting likenesses notwithstanding, Bilal is a one-off, and his hip-hop soul summit with Younge, tucked inside the art of Angelbert Metoyer, is one for the ages.

    Bilal finds an excellent match in Adrian Younge for the type of musical exploration he's embraced with his more recent output here, and In Another Life offers yet another example of Mr. Oliver's incredible range.

    Overall, In Another Life is an easy, efficient listen, that caters to all facets of Bilal’s musical identity.

    His well-aged craft shows on his fourth LP in 15 years.

    With a live '70s R&B sound fuelled by flower power and, in "Star Now" and "Satellites," some excellent songs, Bilal is as focused as he's ever been. [Oct 2015, p.73]

    He gets major points for continuing to stand behind his artistic vision and this album will likely satisfy longtime fans, even if it isn’t the breakthrough he has been hinting at for over a decade.
