I've just listen to this track over and over it's funkier near haunting the more I hear it.

1O YRS is long time. I hope it's a double album

That bass line is kicking some serious Boo Tay.

How can any NOT feel '1000 Deaths'? That shit is GOOD!

And don't rework that, keep it as it is.

I like it musically. I would just like to be able to understand what is being sung. It's hell trying to sing a long

I've yet to hear D'Angelo sing in a non-mumbling manner, so believe me I'm with you there

Harlepolis said:

That's part of the fun!

Whispering and mumbling aren't quite the same. I mean, we can hear D -- we just don't know what the hell he's saying half the time. Janet thinks she's making instrumentals.

AlexdeParis said:

any date on his new album?

The day after Jesus comes back, and only God knows when that is (literally).

Phishanga said:

You know what? You're right, they don't have to rework it at all lol

AlexdeParis said:

When a voice that soulful is singing, mouth be damned.

This track is straight up funky & infectious. I wonder if that's D shredding on lead guitar? Come on man, release it!

uh oh.. i know what that means! ! ! ! ! !

AlexdeParis said:

This is grimy filthy funk...just the way I like it B-)
D's vox sit in a pocket like no other. He has a way of where if you focus on listening to the vox too much, they sound out time. But you sit back and listen to the whole track, he's just sittin a sweet jazzy spot in the shade with the harmonies and backround vocals perfectly in line.

Marvellous stuff, I hope there's much more to come!

Rumored to come out Summer 2010.

"1000 Deaths" - is the song about his career??

it does remind me a bit too much of lauryn hill's "the final hour" beat

i keep wanting to sing along "you can keep the money, you can keep the
power, but keep your eyes on the final hour"

I love the way it takes off at 2:30 I dig it, totally.

Yeah, there is some total wickedness going on in this song. Not sure what people are on about, it's fantastic

The music is fine. The vocals... seriously to my ears sounded like a 5 mins of-- wubba-wabba, wubba-wabba, blubba blubba blubba...

Take the dame cotton and ice cubes out of your freaking mouth and sing, OR get someone else to sing for you like Santana used to do.
Shit, D makes George Clinton after he's smoked five blunts sound as lucid and clear as if James Earl Jones is speaking.

Is part of this problem the fact that this is a youtube clip and not clear audio? Maybe he's scatting?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yeah a song this funky, lyrics are secondary (like it was on Sly Stone and P-Funk records, even some funky Marvin joints had indecipherable lyrics).

Some people are easily pleased. It's a mess. Drums are weak sounding.

The man is sooooo overrated.

It's supposed to be a mess and it's wrong to gauge the sound quality on a youtube clip.
