Airtight's Revenge
''Airtight's Revenge'' is the second studio album by American recording artist Bilal, released September 6, 2010, on independent record label Plug Research. Production for the album took place during 2007 to 2010 and was handled by Bilal, Steve McKie, Nottz, Shafiq Husayn, Conley "Tone" Whitfield, and 88-Keys. The follow-up to his debut album ''1st Born Second'' (2001), it was conceived following the shelving of Bilal's ''Love for Sale'' project in 2004 and conflicts with his former label Interscope Records. ''Airtight's Revenge'' is a neo soul album with elements of jazz, funk, and psychedelic rock.
The album debuted at number 106 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling 4,600 copies in its first week. Although it charted modestly, ''Airtight's Revenge'' was well received by music critics upon its release. PopMatters ranked the album number 61 in its year-end list of best albums for 2010, calling it a "wildly inventive, wildly enjoyable album".〔Staff (December 24, 2010). (The Best 70 Albums of 2010 ).

== Background and recording ==
Bilal worked on the album for three years, according to an interview with ''The Root'' in September 2010.〔(Bilal Talks About His New Album, Airtight's Revenge )〕 Bilal said, of Airtight's Revenge: "The concept beyond this album was really just to write short stories and dark tales of life in general. I used a lot and drew a lot from my own life and my own experiences, but I also took a lot of things from fiction and tried to make certain statements, from a love standpoint."Bilal said that his experiences with his leaked, unreleased album Love For Sale and the ensuing conflict with his then-record label (Interscope) led him to the "dark underworld" storytelling showcased in ''Airtight's Revenge''.〔(Bilal - the EYE WEEKLY interview )〕 The track "Little One" references Bilal's eldest son's autism. The album features Bilal's famous falsetto and Afro-futuristic sound.〔(Bilals neues Soulalbum: Psychedelik für die Couch - taz.de )〕〔(Robert Glasper joue le jazz de demain - LeMonde.fr )〕 The album was released earlier in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2010.〔Pattison, Louis (August 27, 2010).
