He saved us with Brown Sugar and Voodoo, too. He is Prince's musical child. He could work with the damn phone book, and I'd buy it. I love this man, blessed to see him live a few times.

Well Black Messiah was step forward after his ethereal Voodoo Soul which was infectious. I'm still digesting from that album. Black Messiah is brilliant. The feel of it is enigmatic. The melodies are taut and his vocals are stunning in accordance with the musicianship. I did a small short on my channel about D'angelo for all the true supporters entitled VOODOO SOUL.

@jaydixon32 Год назад

I’m so much of a D’Angelo disciple! People were wondering was Black Messiah gonna sound like Brown Sugar. His talent is superior that you can’t bottle it up. D’Angelo touched just about every genre of music in Black Messiah. I always say he made 3 classic albums. I’m definitely waiting for the 4th! We are waiting D!

@ami2846 2 года назад

“Built to last” - whoever wrote that in their Voodoo review was so right. And Black Messiah will stand the test of time. He’s had such a fulfilling progression imo, I always find it fascinating that he lost a segment of his audience with BM (the ones who want him to go back to Brown Sugar). Thanks for your take on the album.

@22StoneProductions 2 года назад

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching and I totally agree...amazing progression from Brown Sugar to BM.

Really happy I found this video. I remember the first moment I heard this album and I knew it was in a class of its own. Golden. Hypnotized. But D'Angelo didn't seem to be going the normal publicity tour route so most folks - even his fans - didn't know the album. It said so much. I listened to it nonstop for months. And I made sure I was in the front row when D'Angelo and the Vanguard came to town. So glad to see this discussion. Time to be listening to it again

D'Angelo is a musical genius. I really appreciate his artistry and love and respect for the craft. Black Messiah is a masterpiece and one of the best albums of the 2010s. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 14 years for his next project however. This was a great and through breakdown.

@feloniuspunk7078 10 месяцев назад

Its funny, i look like a metal head. Covered in tattoos, kind of rough around the edges in general white-guy. And when people ask me who my favorite musician/band is, they never expect me to say D’Angelo. As a musician myself, im drawn to the excellent musicianship of the 90s soulquarian era of RnB. There is not a human on this planet, cooler, or more talented than D’Angelo. THE goat

What I take from D'Angelo's hiatus is someone that was scared to walk in their path and walking into the light the genius minds of a lot of black artists go through so much which is why I think if you going through something its best to you get the help you can get it.

@dazeja Год назад

the varied speed tape vocals was influenced by from Prince also. Prince had a whole moniker with tape sped up vocals.... called Camille. I seriously think D'angelo's music harkens back to Prince more than any artist. Other Artist seriously can't do what Prince did but D'angelo can, therefore he can act on those influences.

@22StoneProductions Год назад

Great points, that Prince influence was definitely significant thru D's entire career. Thanks for watching!

@nolva757 Год назад

I respect your opinion but as a big fan of D I take purple rain it was like a book like a tribe called quest midnight mauraders and to me all of D’s albums I can’t compare them brown sugar is soulful voodoo is spiritual and black messiah is revolutionary 🤔 we both from Virginia and grew up on the James river near the plantation near Williamsburg so I feel the connection with him and I know some of his family members 💯🙏🏾

@TheFishermenForZion Год назад

@@nolva757 I can understand that. Purple rain for me is great lyrically. Vocally, soulfully and spiritually is why I feel D’s album is the best. There nothing more convincing then when music convicts you to the core of soulfully and spiritually. D’s favorite artist is prince if im not mistaken. Those deep roots of our ancestors in those landing area of slavery are a representation of the creativity we entail and D covers it from the front to back. Peace family! #chosen #Israelites

@nolva757 Год назад

@@TheFishermenForZion true some of D’s influence did come from prince 💯 and growing up in Newport News right on the James river the boys club use to take us on trips to Williamsburg every summer when I was 5 years old up to about 13 years old to Jamestown on the plantation with Michael Vick, Allen Iverson, Aaron Brooks (former QB for the New Orleans Saints) who won their 1st playoff games in Saints franchise history so we learned that history as little kids which was amazing at such a young age

@eorrjr 2 месяца назад

First let me say I’m a musician and have been for the past 30 plus years. I am a fan of D’Angelo and his music. This won’t be a popular opinion, nevertheless the album Voodoo wasn’t good to me at all. Send It On, Untitled were for me the best to records on the album. The vocal quality was in-distinguishable, arrangements were sparse. To call Voodoo a ‘classic’ is gratuitous. Now with Black Messiah, this was the album that should have come out after the commercial release Brown Sugar. Every record on this album he sounded free! Free to be who he really was, Brown Sugar was clearly not who he was but a record label version of him. BS was a great album, but to me out of the 3 BM is the best. Another thing I’d like to address, are we proclaiming his greatness prematurely? He has 3 albums? MJ, Stevie, Prince, Marvin all have vast catalogs that show the growth and maturation they had as artist and I’m supposed to crown Mr. Archer as a goat after 3? And he really has, out of the 3, 1 great album? Love him as an artist, but I can’t rock with that. Out of the 3 albums I only listen to BM, I have tried over and over and over to listen to Voodoo and see the genius that everyone talks about but I don’t hear it. My 2 cents.

@@22StoneProductions I find the whole "incident" extremely sexist. I am a woman and as a woman who enjoys being sexual and understands that portraying yourself as such is work I don't think a man who releases a video where he's sexual and erotic is wrong. Honestly I think a lot of insecure snd envious people just wanted to bring him down for it.
