This dude just has a way with chords, melodies and harmonies. I honestly don't remember him being associated with anything less than great, from his albums all the way down to these unreleased instrumentals. True genius.
Say that!! Never again will it ever be matched. And for me neosoul was an appropriate title for the genre. Like some many like me, we grew up on Chaka Khan, Curtis Mayfield, and Marvin Gaye. So we knew what soul was. And we realized that soul lost its way for us somewhere in the 80s between pop and R&B. Luckily, hip hop artists we used to dig like Tribe Called Quest had stepped in to fill the void. By the time we were grown with children of our own, when hip hop began losing its way, there was neosoul like a breath of fresh air to folks who were suffocating from music that had no soul!
It has powerful death vibe to it, but in a good sense I mean... Dilla too I think had the same approach about time flowing by, years passing, shit staying the same, loving ones beginning to disappear as life goes on. And on. And on... Great track. Keep your sh*t going everyone, life is good!
amazing to hear more than 20 year old D'Angelo material for the first time right now. Been allll over those Voodoo-outtakes! like the rest i'm super curious where this came from...!
@kingnapz i was wondering if you have any more instrumentals like this one I'm desperately searching for this type of throwback rnb feel for my debut album king 💯
@@ChokeArtist411, Yup. It’s an Ensoniq EPS16+ sampler Rhodes piano sound with envelope filter set to the modulation wheel. Came straight from their demo disks. There is a fretless bass he liked to use on that same disk.
@@mmcratedigging Lotta studio work in the 90’s. The effect is called WahWheel. I have an Ensoniq and it is easily recognizable. Also, it’s not a Rhodes. It’s a piano patch called Piano241 with the Wah Wheel effect turned on full.
This right here man is so smooth I just looove love the vibe and the use of the samples man. I can hear Kool&the gang and a sample playing throughout, which Nicolay (as Foreign Exchange?) used. Thank you for sharing wow
yup this was definitely meant to be on Brown Sugar but sadly didn’t make it. if you’ve listened to the full album more than a thousand times like me, you’ll know all the riffs all the beats and each and every single instrument included in each song. Brown Sugar was good but this just sounds too good, to the point where it didn’t qualify to be on the album, that’s how good it is.
@@kofiperry19 I think you're right, after listening to it a million times. Sounds like a cut from Brown Sugar that never made it. A lot of soul and emotion in this regardless.

It makes no sense
Thats that Marvin Gaye spirit that dwells deep inside of this brother.
This is why I love RUclips. Something rare and precious is hidden in all those garbages.
wise words.
I believe he's playing a rhodes through a wah wah to get this mysterious beautiful sound
90s style neo-soul of this caliber will never be equalled again

This D'ude truly has some great music in him.
This should’ve been a song that went in between “Alright” and “Jonz In My Bonz” in his first album “Brown Sugar”

Deep Bro🖤
Perfectly put
Every now and then, you hear a song that you’d want played at your funeral. This is one of those songs
Imagine all the people two-steppin and licking they lips at the service while this is playing
D'Angelo is a legend.
This is the most ethereal and beautiful of all the ones I've heard 💯
Damn, D'Angelo getting his George Duke on here
Bust’d a MADD NUTT @ 5:37. D’Angelo is the epitome of that early 90’ sound that I miss so much.
It’s just such a crazy transition.
This is dope! The drums definitely sound like "I've found my smile again" smooth track.
Yep, that’s the first thing that I also thought...
Gotta be my favourite song to just chill to.. I could have this on repeat forever
how good is this shit absolute pleasure to hear
amazing to hear more than 20 year old D'Angelo material for the first time right now. Been allll over those Voodoo-outtakes! like the rest i'm super curious where this came from...!
I have never in almost 44 years had a ‘favourite song’. Until today.
This is amazing brother This joint definitely has that brown sugar pre voodoo era vibrations

@@blackhamid7792there’s a video on RUclips called voodoo outtakes full of stufff like this , bit late but music is music
One listen is not enough for this 👍🏾
FASHO!
My whole 90's encapsulated on this instrumental.
What a track full of depth
This man can do no wrong musically period
wooaahh could this be brown sugar outtakes? I know there's a whole voodoo outtakes album
brown sugar riff at 4:52 and a quiet guitar lick at 6:06 that sounds like "I found my smile again"
@@kofiperry19 good catch, groove definitely sounds pre-voodoo
@@kofiperry19 DID YALL SEE THE DOCUMENTARY THAT FORREST WHITTIKER DID ?. . . . .HAIL TO THE SOULQUARIANS . . . . DANGELO DOCUMENTARY, , , ,
royce scott what’s it called
@@roycescott5303 where is this documentary?
GOT DAMN!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the Ad-libs 4:43 🤦🏾♂️🔥💯
I know right ! never heard D sing like that makes you wonder what he's been holding back 💯
I D the woman is Angie Stone or Mary J Blige, not too sure
@@4theluvofyou Sounds more like Mary than Angie, but not too sure, the male voice is def D 4 sure
Some of the best audio ever uploaded to RUclips
i love his guitar tone heres
Likely a keyboard mod

Nice instrumental! Definitely created around Brown Sugar project. It has that whole feel, and style. I bet there are more of these somewhere.
This just embodies greatness! It takes my mind to an unfamiliar place!
Familiar ..you just don’t remember
the king
This just made my entire day omgg
love the guitar build up at 2:17
Early version of “I Found My Smile Again” I think?
Honestly I’d prefer this version to what was released. Both were great tho
yess i hear it too
I think you may be right, has that same vibe, what a gem
Love this
This is beautiful
Gawd damn this is fresh as fck.
an andre 3000 verse on this beat would kill me
Oh maaaaaan for real!
This is fire
Much Gratitude
so pissed that this ends
thank you kindly sir
Marvin Gaye - Dance With Me
Thank you
I think it’s called after the dance by Marvin Gaye
sound like a lethal weapon instrumental riff at the beginning.
absolutely.
D a genius
🌹
Well, damn...!!!👂💕
Nice.
any evidence thats this material is from D'angelo unrealesed collection ??! neverthless it sounds super good ....
Just listen to it. There is your evidence.
Deidade Kalondjo this don't sound like him to you , it's definitely him ...
@@b-north For sure, you can feel it
Did u do this yourself ; as a tribute? Either way ; Excellent stuff!!!!!
😩😩😩😩😩#GREATNESS 🐐
💫
Only him…
Dusty liquid soul
Any shot of you linking the file pre RUclips processing?
F’real. You already know where.👊🏽This is some dope shit yo.
KingEversProduction where? I need it, too
KingEversProduction hit me up w da link G
@@yommish The low quality isn't due to youtube's processing. It's a demo. The distortion comes from the tape.
Oh my 😩
Thankyou
NICE
sounds like "heaven" by Amp Fiddler
Did Tom Misch listen to this 6 years ago?
This is probably fan made but its fire
Nah, it's legit. It originally leaked 10 years ago on a site called swift.fm by DJ Brainchild(from Questloves podcast).
Pure FUNK
Hey does guitar voices on keys, very unique style
oh my...
Did D’Angelo produce this?
Yea
uhhhh....
Where's the picture in the video from?
Who’s playing the guitar here?
Iii I have it😊 OO

Who is this??? Stop playing.....where this is coming from🤔
This ain't d
Does anyone know who the guitarist is?
@Frank White Had a feeling. He's got some nice licks!
@@lex.cordiswho is it?
@@arnavvaid2386 D'Angelo, if I remember correctly.
Thought this was ol’ dirty bastard 😂😂🤣
Sounds like JDilla
It sounds like both of them.
nah not that dilla to me. Could very well just be d'angelo, poysner and quest
