After an eight-year hiatus during which he was arrested for drug possession and DUI, suffered injuries in a car crash, and checked into rehab, Grammy-winning soul stirrer D'Angelo is recording his third studio album.

The still-untitled disc will be released by RCA/Sony BMG this fall and will feature collaborations with John Mayer and Raphael Saadiq, who co-produced D' Angelo's 2000 hit, "Untitled (How Does It Feel").

8 years? Damn...that's a hella long time. Man, in the 70's and 80's, if u pulled that kind of shit...it was over. Nowadays..it doesn't seem to matter. Cool though, I like the cat. I'll check it out. Curious to see what's all on there.

I'll believe this shit when the disc is in my hands, and I'm loading it on my I-Pod!!!

Hopefully it doesn't get delayed.

The ? is....does he still look like O.D.B?!

Count me on that sentiment

Every year I hear about him coming with a new album from a supposedly "credible source" and every year the same ol' shit

Paris9748430 said:

I don't care much for his looks (the video for untitled was masturbatory)...if he gives great with this new album....hell he can be a whale and I couldn't care less

.....yawn.

Believe it. Entertainment Weekly is a fact-checking publication.

Paris9748430 said:

Exactly

Good for him, although I hope Maxwell releases his as well. They can play a comeback tour together! Get crazy Lauryn Hill too.

Harlepolis said:

I agree you can put this cd right next to the new MJ the new Guns N Roses, Maxwell and of course Lauryn Hill

Copycat said:

Oh i know that, but they have no control over the "egos" of artists. At the end of the day D'Angelo is the one that will put it out, or maxwell, or Lauryn Hill or Axl Rose etc

In the meantime, there's the Best So Far' CD and DVD compilation in a week ro so. Nothing new, sadly

Released by Virgin, his former label.

Here's the promo page:

which also suggests 'look for more this Fall'.

The fact that he apparently has a new label deal is at least promising - is the picture above also a new shot?

I find this hard to believe. That kind of shit would have at least leaked in snippet form on Okayplayer. There's more chance of Stevie Wonder '74 outtake snippets leaking...which is in fact what recently happened on Okayplayer!

Mong said:

Thanks for the heads up!

Mong said:

tracks are tagged if they leaked then they would know where the source came from okayplayer and org has never done anything for me to release this music.
