Adventures In Pole Dancing Pt. 3: I’m A Superwoman?
I didn’t know my skin could bruise until I started pole dancing, when I got introduced to pole burn.

Bilal Talks Sophomore LP, Why He Was Never So-Called Neo-Soul
Bilal entered our hearts in 2000 with mellow grooves like “Soul Sista” and “Love It,” during a period when the phrase “Neo-Soul” was attached to any artist who had a jazzy, soulful or earthy vibe (and in most cases, they could actually sing without digital enhancement).
