    D'Angelo like Sade, are the rare artists who's infrequent releases are highly coveted

    Black Messiah is one of the greatest albums of all time regardless of genre. Not one song is worth skipping. The vibe matches any ambiance. The fact that he does all the vocals and plays the instrument only adds to its magic.

      yeah its such a great album, i love how its almost nothing at all like voodoo which would have been the safe thing to make, but he went the other way.

      I disagree, so does Angie Stone , they shouldn't have distorted his voice like that .
      I don't care if they think it was more artistic to do so. Some of those songs are lacking something (J Dilla ?)..

      Lissen. The MINUTE it hit, by the time I got to Another Life, I was POSTING it with the sheer emotion that EVERYBODY needed to HEAR what I was hearing. BUT, like many of our geniuses, Prince and Curtis, that WEIGHT of genius is no JOKE. That said, I bless God that He allows us to be gifted with even a moment of such beautiful brilliance….

      To be honest I’m not surprised. That’s usually how it is for some odd reason. Another good example of this is Bryson tiller. Go look up a song called Bryson tiller Let ‘Em Know, then go look up an interview with him just speaking regular and you’ll notice how deep is voice is compared to when he sings.

    I just stumbled on this, but this is one of the best music interviews by a non-musician I have ever seen. D'Angelo LOVED these questions. It's always refreshing to see someone recognize that great musicians are just people that really love music.

      Tavis was also a close friend of Prince which D'Angelo would likely have been aware of before agreeing to do the interview, as Prince had appeared on Tavis's show to talk about some heavy topic as well as perform his music.

I JUSt had a conversation and a woman asked me what does it feel like from a man's perspective to be inside a woman. I told her just listen to this and played "How Does It Feel", and somehow, she understood it.
