In 1995, D’Angelo – born Michael Eugene Archer and Virginia-raised to a Pentecostal preacher father – made an undeniable impact on the music world with the release of his 4x Grammy Award nominated debut album Brown Sugar, ushering in a new and inescapable neo-soul sound with classic hits like the title track, “Lady,” “Cruisin.”

Here's a lil' gem i came across of outtakes from D'angelo's famous Voodoo album. A lot of tracks are him just messin around on the keyboard. A few others are covers of popular soul cuts. I especially like his rendition of Gangstar's 'ex girl to the next girl.' Enjoy and share. Everybody loves the sunshine 2. Fair but so uncool 3. Voodoo was like crack for purists-this was Real Music, serious as a heart attack, deeply reverent and worshipful of the past. D'Angelo once said about the content of Voodoo: 'This album is a personal testimony about my life and my emotions. Torchlight 2 best engineer build guild wars 2. My life kinda changed overnight when Brown Sugar came out.

D’Angelo made his welcome return 5 years later with his platinum-plus 2000 sophomore album Voodoo. The album’s roots are in 1960s, ‘70s and ’80s funk and soul; a nostalgic nod to the ideas and inventions of black music trailblazers powered by avant-garde hip-hop and jazz-influenced rhythms. D’Angleo’s aim was to reclaim R&B. He wanted to be like Sly Stone, George Clinton and Al Green. And most of all, he wanted to be like Jimi Hendrix. One way he accomplished this was to record in the studio Hendrix built, New York’s Electric Lady studios.
Once again handling the lion’s share of production, arrangements, songwriting and vocals, alongside instrumentation from the Soulquarians musical collective, the critically acclaimed album won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album while its hit single, “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” took home hardware for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

D'Angelo: Voodoo Maybe I should've titled this 'Revisiting a classic' like I did with an earlier post regarding Marvin Gaye and his Here, My Dear album. Released in 2000, D'Angelo's Voodoo is, indeed, a classic and an album I foresee withstanding the test of time.

“This album is a personal testimony about my life and my emotions. My life kinda changed overnight when Brown Sugar came out. It took me a while just to get used to that – the attention, the money, and everything that comes along with that…At times I felt like I wanted to run away from it. I still reject a lot of shit. A lot of people say, “Well you’re a superstar now.” If I start to look at it like that, then something’s wrong. I have to continue to remind myself why I’m doing this and the things that inspired or motivated me way back before Brown Sugar ever happened and before I ever got into this business – just my love for the music and wanting to reach the people.” – D’Angelo

Voodoo is up there among the best. Equal parts J. Dilla/Slum Village, with its hip hop production and loud kick-snare beats, and vocally reminiscent of Prince and Marvin Gaye, with D'Angelo's multiple falsettos flying throughout the tracks, it's a damn shame that D'Angelo hasn't been able to follow up this masterpiece. Kind've reminds me of Kevin Shields and My Bloody Valentine, and how he was never able to follow up his masterpiece 60angeloLoveless

(one of my desert island albums, but that's a whole different conversation), and you know, maybe it's best that both D'Angelo and Kevin Shields didn't follow up their masterpieces (maybe partially due to drugs?), because it would've been a daunting task. I do realize that D'Angelo has played a few shows sporadically over the past ten years, so there's always a possibility that he may release something in the future. For now, we are left with one very solid album in
