White Turns to Grey and possibly Lord Don't Let It from the shelved Love For Sale are songs that I think black radio could have eaten up had they been released. Now, there are a couple of songs on Airtight's Revenge that could have gained some traction on alt radio if Bilal weren't black lol. Mainly Levels, Restart and All Matter.

And with his latest project, which seemed like an intentional return to "soul", Butterfly had the most potential; but I don't know if that got any play on the adult urban stations that play Kem all day. I don't know if they touched the lead single Back to Love either. He just released a video for the song Slipping Away, which is a strong song, but it might be too "sleepy" to get much burn.
