Grammy Winner D’Angelo Talks With Tavis Smiley About “Black Messiah” And More (Video)
September 25, 2015
Come to think of it: Was there ‘Neo-Soul’Â music before D’Angelo? Not much, if any. He was a founding father of the genre, so to speak. From the son of a Baptist preacher, heavily influenced by church music, to making that funky stuff that grew from steeping in all that Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, James Brown, and Prince growing up. Then he got ‘extra-grown’ for the ladies with that “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” song and video. That earned him a Grammy (Best Male R&B Vocal Performance).
And then…nothing…for like over 10 years.
Now D’Angelo is back with his latest project, “Black Messiah.” And here he is talking to Tavis about it and more. Hey, it took two episodes to convey the convo. Keep watching after the jump.

D’Angelo – Brown Sugar (@KingMost Redirection)
November 30, 2014
Sexy but sped up. Yep. Punched up, break-and-kick beat’d out… Never thought you’d hear “Brown Sugar” (by D’Angelo) re-done like this. Bet. Dope though.
With all projects rooted in diversity, Mixologi teams up with DJ Kingmost (SF) for a redirection of D’Angelo’s classic “Brown Sugar,” blended with the sounds of Lord Shorty, the godfather of Soca. This remix is truly the best of both worlds.

R&B/Soul: DJ Rahdu – “Follow Me: D’angelo Flips, Remixes And Tributes” (Mixtape)
October 28, 2013
BamaLoveSoul and DJ Rahdu doing the love… keeping the flame of hope alive with this “Follow Me” flip mix while we wait on the next D’Angelo work of art. Now, this is just the 11-minute sampler. They have a full mix on the way. They cannot “can’t imagine him releasing a bomb” – which is a sentiment many share. This is how you hold your fav artist down while they are out of the spotlight.
“Enjoy Follow Me, our tribute to the fans that have been inspired by and hopefully inspire D’angelo and encourage him to release the next album we’ll be enjoying even 18 years later.”

September 16, 2012
BamaLoveSoul dropped another another hot rock in my inbox (by way of Eavesdrop Radio) – a Simbad refix of “Devilz Pie” by D’Angelo. The track has a bouncy dance feel to it. Good stuff.

R&B: D’Angelo – “Black Hole Sun” (Cover)
January 5, 2012
D’Angelo has been missing for a while, and even though this is not a piece of his newest material, the releasing of any material from the soul singer is a good sign for his fans (including myself) who wants a return to the Brown Sugar and Voodoo days. According to ?uestlove this is an cover of SoundGarden’s classic “Black Hole Sun” recorded 8 years ago, but a part of warming the public up to D’Angelo as the new album is “97%” complete. We hear this all the time from artists who go on these long layoffs (see Lauryn Hill) and never get around to actually putting any material out that the people so desperately want to hear. However since ?uestlove is involved, this situation may provide a better outcome. Besides that, this is a pretty dope cover of a classic tune. Enjoy!

Billboard.com is reporting that D’Angelo is back working on new material with ?estlove of The Roots. Apparently ?est tweeted during the a session the two had last night.
“Most people use midnight as a time to sleep. others are working on their 11 year followup. this of course being hour number one,” ?estlove said via his twitter.
Details on the project are sketchy with names like Prince, Raphael Saadiq, John Mayer, and Cee Lo Green rumored to have worked on the project through is long development. The project is going to be released on J Records late 2011 or early 2012.
D’Angelo has been on through a lot since his last release in 2000 entitled Voodoo, with a serious car wreck, an arrest, an reported substance abuse issues. It’ll be great to see him back doing his thing.
