Today, a third single from the project has been revealed with the arrival of the relentlessly funky "I'm Leaving You," which samples just a lone vocal line grabbed from Miles' Jack Johnsonsessions andfeatured contributions from Ledisi, as well asJohn Scofield, who actually played with Miles late in his career. Listen to "I'm Leaving You" along with the full track list for the album down below and if your interests are thoroughly piqued upon completion, pre-order Robert Glasper'sEverything's Beautifulon iTunes today ahead of its official May 27th release. Other artists slated to make an appearance include Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, KING, Laura Mvula, Hiatus Kaiyote and more. (Read: treat yourselfASAP.)
