Oh good, nice surprise that it's out so soon. I guess I'm a rather different postion to most members here, as I only got into D'Angelo relatively recently, so I haven't had the crazy 15 years of anticipation and build-up. I have a feeling nobody's going to really know what to make of the thing for quite a while after it comes out, going to have to wait for the clouds to settle before we can start to for a coherent judgement. I very much doubt that it's going to be some new masterpiece that will revolutionise music, I just don't think D is in that position anymore, but I do think it will be a good solid album at the very least, and as someone who hasn't been waiting for the past 15 years that's good enough for me. Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

Whenever the thing drops I actually just hope that it doesn't leak..at least too long before an official release anyway .. Seeing as it's been so long already it could probably delay it even further !! He's known to be a sensitive guy as well imagine he pulled the whole thing ... bam another decade plus wait LOL | |

SanDiegoFunkDaddy said:It's a bittersweet release. The dude has been gone for 15 years. He decided to serve another master. He could have released a ton of great music in 15 years. I'm a huge fan but I gave up on him like I gave up on Sly. I'll have to preview the album first then decide to buy it. In comparison can you imagine Prince being gone from 1980 to 1995? After 88, it would have been cool for him to spread out his releases at least a few years and build anticipation. I imagine AOA would have got a lot more attention and praise had it been first release since TRC.. lol Would have missed out on a few good gems here and there tho.

Download a track from D'Angelo's anticipated LP #blackmessiah Sunday at 12AM PST #20Before15 win.gs/1BF2xE6 pic.twitter.com/FSH41KuQA4 Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman | |

Is there really any way this project can live up to 14 years of hype? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I hope more tracks are added. D seems to love doing covers so I hope one is included. After so many years I was hoping for and album as lengthy as Princes Sign O the Times, Love Symbol Album or R.Kelly's Chocolate Factory album but beggers cant be choosy I guess. | |

All I can say is WOW!!!! Talk about a song growing/adding layers/expanding as the minutes pass. At first I was like "This is waaayyyy too sparse/simplistic, then the chorus kicked in, then the next verse..... this is DOPE! [Edited 12/14/14 0:13am] |

I don't think Sugah Daddy is that great, tbh. He needed to come back stronger than this. |

moderatorThis has inspired my first post in awhile....
MY.FUCKING.GOD.
Sugah Daddy is absolute GENIUS!!!! That is progressive funk/RnB!!! It is unique to him. The only other artist i can hear in this is Sly Stone (think Riot) and that is an amazing thing. Quest did actually say that the new album will be like a modern day Riot Goin' On. I can't believe it....D's actually gonna school us all again!!!
The best song i have heard this year.
I'm in awe. [Edited 12/14/14 4:18am] This Post is produced, arranged, composed and performed by WetDream | |
