ha, i like that at the end of the interview they're all like "hey btw check out the video that sent d'angelo's life spinning out of control"

i think people are a little dramatic about that, most artists' biggest successes probably fucked with their head a little bit but it's not like you're personally goading them by continuing to enjoy that work

i can't blame anybody but D quite frankly; Erykah looked for a little while like she might jump the tracks but she was strong enough to get it together and it didn't look like D wasreally hope he's got it back in order, will buy this album, will see him play anywhere anytime. still a little wary.

New Amerykah Part One and BLACKsummers'night are really the precedents i'll be folding my arms waiting to see if this can live up to, more than Voodoo

i'm not super excited by the idea of more rock & pop influences, although that's clearly been a part of the shows ('charade', the bowie cover, the guitar stuff, etc.). still totally confident that it's going to be a dope record. at the very least, it'll be interesting - the dude does not half-ass anything, and there's something really engaging about knowing that every note has been considered and obsessed over.

wahtever happened to maxwell? wasn't he all 'oh yeah ive recorded 3 albums to release in 3 years here is the first'?
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 17 February 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that is VERY frustrating to me, i loved that album and i'm like c'mon where's the rest
― some dude, Friday, 17 February 2012 21:27 (twelve years ago) link
i know, right. clearly he did not have another two records in the can.
maybe he's just waiting for chris dave to be done touring with d'angelo, erykah, and everybody else?
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Friday, 17 February 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
nah, he's just got his cash in order and is probably working through his good times. man, to be maxwell and single...

Looking forward to a new D'angelo album but listened to Voodoo again recently and well don't think it's very good to be honest...not terrible but not great...

"Black stardom is rough, dude," Chris Rock tells me when I reach him to talk about D. "I always say Tom Hanks is an amazing actor and Denzel Washington is a god to his people. If you're a black ballerina, you represent the race, and you have responsibilities that go beyond your art. How dare you just be excellent?"After Brown Sugar went platinum, Rock put D'Angelo on The Chris Rock Show. Later, when D was mixing Voodoo, Rock hung out some in the studio. No surprise, then, that the first thing out of Rock's mouth after "Hello" is a joyful "He's back!" But he adds a sobering downbeat: "D'Angelo. Chris Tucker. Dave Chappelle. Lauryn Hill. They all hang out on the same island. The island of What Do We Do with All This Talent? It frustrates me."

Gah, first time in 3 years I've missed Bonnaroo, and it's the one he shows up at:
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/10/dangelo-back-in-the-u-s-a/
There was nothing tentative about D’Angelo’s performance. He took his place at keyboards and floated his voice into the opening of Hendrix’s “Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland),” pitched right where his tenor glides into falsetto. He had the yowl for Sly and the Family Stone’s “Babies Makin’ Babies,” the shout for the Beatles’ “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window” and a blues-rock wail for Led Zeppelin’s “What Is and What Should Never Be”; his phrasing was spontaneous and sure. And when he was not singing, he was fully engaged in the instrumental jams.
