as i know cliche has several meanings and i think mr leeds used that word the right way. at least D'Angelo is clever enough to surround himself with some bad ass musicians. it clearly shows that D'Angelo looks out for musicians that are capable to realize his vision or his idea. at least: THIS is a band. i would go see THAT band anytime without D too! 3rdeye...? maybe for a 5er...

"the general is only as strong as his soldiers" (or soemthin like that) Mtume

i sa wthat band with chris dave as drummer, just as talented as blacdkwell, 3eg would smokle em

I think D'Angleo and Lauryn Hill have decided that they just want to be touring artists.They won't release any more albums,but will continue to perform live.All of you who are waiting for that new D'angleo album...it's time to stop waiting.It ain't coming out.

I really don't think anyone is "waiting" at this point. It will be yaer 15 or 16 in 2 months.

What ever happened to releasing a new album, and then announcing a tour? These brothers have gotten it backwards. Both D'Angelo and Maxwell are getting on my last nerve.

I hope the ticket sales are horrific, they deserve it for playing so many games.

Seems like Miss Hill is sticking to her guns. Didnt she make a comment that she never would have released "Miseducation" had she known so many white people would buy it?

true

I hope he comes to America!

I really don't understand what is stopping him from releasing that album. We have heard new songs and he often performs them live. I think he has more than enough material to make an album but I am not sure what is taking so damn long to release. I will always love D Angelo though and will continue to root for him.

I thought that sounded a bit 'extreme' even for Miss Hill.

Thank you-

No, she didn't, that's complete BS: http://www.snopes.com/pol...ynhill.asp Anyways, sweet, new D'Angelo tour, I'll be sure to get tickets for the Birmingham show.

The album is definitely in the works. Side A is done. They're finishing up Side B. (Source: Russ' Twitter: https://twitter.com/RussE...0206558208 )

Urgggghhhhhhhh. That pretty much sums it up.

Not trying to be hostile or facetious, but just honestly curious: Why is the wait such a big deal? There are two possible outcomes: 1. He releases the album or 2. He doesn't. Which approach makes more sense and shows more support? To whine and keep being constantly skeptical or to just see how things develop neutrally? He's either going to do it or not do it. Oh well. We can only hope. As far as the accuracy of Quest and Russ' claims, again, who knows. We can either wait or whine. The questlove percetage thing is brought up every single time the album is talked about around here, and cited as some kind of definite indication that -anything- -anyone- says about the album is a lie.

He might have Blackwell and Jesse, but his band doesn't sound anything like Princes bands, forget that. Pino is leading the grooves. I heard them live last week here in NZ. They're sounding BADASS.

This band is smoking. I'll be glad when they start playing all new material.

Why no U.S. tour I wonder?

I think a reason why D'Angelo chooses to tour Europe over America is for the same reasons

the old time jazzers ventured to Europe: their taste is a bit more sophisticated. And before he

embarks upon a US tour, he'll be able to iron out the kinks of a live show; in Europe, the media

is much more forgiving than the critics in the States.

Anyways, Van Hunt has a new album coming out in 2015 and I'm all set with D'Angelo anyways;

Voodoo is overrated. His mystique does not bedevil me. We should be anticipatory of artists who

are active, intelligent, adventurous, and just as talented as Mr. Archer.

Generally,if you're a fan of an artist,you want new music from them I can understand why his fans are frustrated/angry/impatient.

Did you read the rest of what I said or did you stop after that?

"The Second Coming" is an appropriate title for D'angelo's new album, since he has been gone for DECADES! While showing his DIE HARD fandom @ the same time.

I'm a D fan. But this whole album release is turning into a BIG joke. It's getting on my last damn nerve! Also I'm VERY worried about D's appearance. He just doesn't look healthy to me.

I heard also he didn't introduce his band on his last performances either overseas. He had that GREAT band with John Blackwell & JESSE JOHNSON & no introduction!?

Show some humility D'angelo..

Ticket's not for sale yet...D with that band will be sensational, can't wait!

And Alan calls P's band a cliche

Exactly. Shame Alan can't 'manage' even one new song from his major artist.

Um, D is one of the most humble people on earth. Did you not see his Red Bull interview.

Yes! He came off pretty well. But an ex colleague apparently didn't think so. He tore him a new one.

Yes and that ex colleague is pretty shady. D is one of those people I have heard very little bad about aside from his drug issues. I have a friend who knows him personally-she loves him to death and she is not a fan of many.

Yes. D Angelo has some really loyal fans. We still waiting 15 years later and still going to his sold out shows
