The soul in this man's art immediately changed my opinion of music so much back in 1995. I wish he was around more influencing today's music, but in the end I'm so happy that he at least gave us the two awesome albums that he did...
My father was a gospel dj back in the day, God bless his soul...This is a spirtual standard that exsisted prior to R&B that hasnt been done this well since Ray Charles did it. D' is the Man!
the only song i'm not maniacally obsessed with is Jonz in My Bonz. All the others are on constant repeat. nowadays when i'm not listening to D'angelo I listen to Baduizm. I miss the 90s and my favorite musical artform
Believe it or not, the bass player was Will Lee from the Letterman show! Somebody gave him some soul lessons, or a plate of ribs before the recording session... D, you've been gone too long. Get back in bro, show them how a man runs his game.
Reminding me of Hot Sunday Services, church congregation with the fans goin', agreeing with the pastor as the message is preached "Amen, alright!, preeeach!".
@KrfNYC2 How many years have they been saying that? I always get excited but then the stud always get into kinds of trouble and guess what? We wait some more but I pray you're right about this one.
this song is amazing. Its so unbelievable beautiful that it actually brings tears to my eyes. I can feel the sencerity and passion in his voice; a feeling that has no words, yet is uniquely pleasant. Thanks for thet D'{Angel}o.
this man is truly the real deal, why the hell would he turn to whatever messed him up? didnt he know he was touching the world with his music? COME BACK D! save music! show these fake people that their music isnt real!
He's not dead yet. We could always pray for the man. If anybody can free him of his demons, Jesus can. Too many times we just write people with addictions off as done deals, Why not stand in the gap for them until they can stand for themselve's? Pray for the man. I know I will.
D' Angelo is something we're missing. He's RAW. he's honest and very straight forward about love. that's what these kids need these days.... not "let me take you down..." or "bust that p****y open"! they need to hear the words and feel the power in the words I LOVE YOU.
Man, if time machines were real, I definitely go back in time to hear this brotha' & others like him perform songs like this! The hell with Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Rihanna, T-Pain, Akon, Pretty Rickey, Pleasure P & the rest of these wanna-be R&B MFs'! I'd rather listen to music like this other than this new shit that's being played today! Say what cha' wanna say 'bout me making this comment, but some of you might be feelin' the same way I feel! That's my word and I'm sticking with it!
@ckah1980 yeah, i agree, and its because this actually has musical merit to it, unlike the others that you named. The problem is there is no impedence for these generic artists to actually know what they are doing from a music point of view because there has been a huge dumbing down of the mainstream listener There needs to be more people demanding a higher level of musical knowledge&integrity from the artists, and until the masses stop letting them skate by making mediocre music, it wont change
@ckah1980 ...Ne-yo has some quality work and I actually loved Pleasure solo album. Don't understand why folks feel the need to hate when it comes to new music. Criticize? Yes. Hate? No...
@ckah1980 Amen! Wish he could get his act together, there's still a lane for him. The difference is I "listen" to the others you referenced, I "felt" D'Angelo. I bought both of his CD's - haven't purchase one single CD from the others (though I do like Ne-Yo).
@SolarisFilmwerks think of it this way. maxwell took an 8 year hiatus and how good did his comeback turn out? maybe d angelo is taking his time. sometimes the longer the tea leaves stepe the stronger the tea will be. maybe he wants to make a perfect album. but my opiniion is the current industry is not ready for d angelo to come back. good things take time
@ckah1980 I thank God I was in the era & could enjoy good talent & beautiful timeless classic songs. Oh what a time we had back in the day. The memories will live on forever in my heart, mind & soul. SIMPLY AMAZING!
This is REAL music! The groove, words and the BASS with harmonies are sick!!!!! REAL music with instrumentation and horn lines! This speaks to the soul. REAL content!!!! This never gets old!
This song is Amazing. You can definitely hear some church all up and through this song. R&B artist of today take some notes. This is true artistry. Just learned that Anthony Hamilton use to sing background vocals for him. I've always heard that D'Angelo vibe in Anthony's earlier stuff just never made the connection. We need you back D'Angelo. Can't wait for the comeback.
Let me ask a question here. Do you think that Dwele is copying D'Angelo's style of music & swagger as of late? Personally, I say D'Angelo got him beat on that level. On the real, I just miss the way music use to be and D'Angelo was one of those artists that made real R&B so popular!
I mean its hard to say but for real for real Dwele def knows and is a fan of D. I feel you on the singing behind the rhodes rocking cornrows thing but I take it as using D as influence. I bet D smirks and says to himself look at my lil sun sun lol.
I Agree those soft Jonas Brothers are whack The Homie D'Angelo should get More Views Hes Tuff And Brings Real Soul Music with A underground feel to it
He's Tuff? Haha. Don't get me wrong...I would never listen to the Jonas Brothers, and I can listen to D'Angelo all day, but your entire comment is juvenile.
i am just waiting on the king to reclaim his throne he is more talented than any of these cats out here today i think he wanted out of his contract with his label so thats why he hasn't dropped yet he makes you thirsty for the sound.
