For A Slice Of The Devil's Pie: The Official D´Angelo Thread

Just got Voodoo on vinyl and maaaan, what an album. I think this guy is one of the artists of the 90s and perhaps due to his lack of body of work is kinda forgotten.

But man, Voodoo might be the best R&B album of its time, and its up there with the work of Gaye or Mayfield.

i remember pre-gaming in the parking lot of an outdoor amphitheater and hearing this amazing bassline/beat combo from the car a couple over from us and when i walked over and they said it was 'D'Angelo' i was so surprised, and i cannot to this day remember the name of the track but have long wished i could

the MTV commerciality aspect may dissuade people from exploring further ... but that song sounded so amazing musically, at a time when I fancied myself as 'mr i listen to music' nonetheless

he's got the goods

Questlove really bring it in every song. And yeah, the groove in his songs is unreal.

Yeah, Black Messiah might be better. Its been a while since i listened to it.

I guess Voodoo is a lighter one? More groovy and funky while BM is more direct and concise.

Voodoo arguably the best album post 2000. Probably my most played vinyl.

Been returning to The Charade a lot lately.

I almost feel dumb talking about him. Like, yeah, of course he's really great.

The best person to listen to about this guy is Questlove. He really has the insight and the ability to convey it.

Voodoo and Black Messiah are some of the best sounding albums I've ever heard. The engineering is ridiculous. Pino Palladino on the fretless bass has no equal. The drums are actually fucking perfect. Then there's the guitars, vocals, strings. Unfuckingbelievable.

What year was this? Pre or post Black Messiah (2014)?

There are a great many tracks from his catalogue that fit this description.
