Robert Glasper Experiment has announced North American tour dates including a February 28 show at the Highline Ballroom in New York City in celebration of their highly-anticipated new album Black Radio, which will be released by Blue Note Records that same day.

Glasper also teamed up with Indaba Music, the pioneering online music creation site, to launch a remix contest for the song “Move Love” from Black Radio, which features vocals from rising stars KING. Indaba’s international community of more than 600,000 musicians will be given each component of the song—including the individual vocal, drum, keyboard, and other tracks—and asked to create their own remix. Glasper will judge all of the entries and select the winner, who will receive a $500 cash prize, a royalty-free one-of-a-kind piano sample created by Glasper for use in an original composition, and a signed copy of Black Radio.
