Covered

"Recorded live before an audience at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, Covered is driven entirely by piano, percussion, and bass. It's a no-frills record that recedes into the background without much fuss, which works for and against the album's overall impact. While Covered is technically jazz, the trio drifts into R&B while keeping a deliberate pace. This is light fare and, at times, it's easy to forget Covered is playing, which feels strange for a Glasper project".

"It's a shame that with so many smart and interesting r&b covers, Glasper doesn't look particularly far for a rock song. But he makes amends by covering Kendrick Lamar to close out the affair. "I'm Dying Of Thirst" is an instrumental backdrop to a recording of children reciting the names of black murder victims at the hands of law enforcement. It's a powerful message presented without comment".
