Video: Bilal x Vikter Duplaix Interview

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Sitting across from soulcat Bilal--well known to anybody who can spell 'okayplayer'--Vikter Duplaix starts off his interview by asking "Who are you?" That simple and unexpected question lays the theme for the four and a half minute conversation and has Bilal exploring his own sounds and inspirations so that we can better understand who he is as an artist and a person. It definitely makes you appreciate the range of his sound, from soft ballads to funky Valentine's Day love songs. Make sure you download the Vikter Duplaix-curated The Retrospection and look forward to Bilal's Valentine's Day eve release of A Love Surreal. Watch the interview below.
