D’Angelo

BET held back not a single ounce of shade following Billboard Music Awards’ Prince tribute. Playing off what seemed to be mass disappointment, the TV network shared a teaser for their upcoming award show with the message, “Yeah, we saw that. Don’t worry. We got you.” In case you missed it: And it seems they came through on […]

The world will never get over the deaths of music icons like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, and now Prince, but we’ll continue to honor them the best way we know how – tributes. D’Angelo stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to perform a special tribute to Prince with Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum’s […]

Now, this is the way we like to kick off 2016.

The shock that R&B Jesus actually returned to perform music has subsided. D’Angelo has even been doing press here and there. However, he hasn’t done a television interview. That changed when he sat down with Tavis Smiley for his first in 10 years. The first of two parts is currently available for your viewing pleasure. The talk is […]

    Both Kendrick Lamar and D’Angelo are having a stellar year so far; K. Dot’s latest release, To Pimp a Butterfly, is the album everyone is talking about—from hip-hop aficionados waxing about its lyrical and thematic heft, to cultural critics offering in-depth analysis of everything from the album’s subject matter to its rebellious, revolutionary […]

After dropping his critically lauded Black Messiah, D’Angelo, was the featured guest on a J.K. Simmons-hosted episode of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ The sketch comedy show featured riffs on Obamacare, Microsoft Office, and Seattle Seahawks’ players Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch. But the show’s highlight—as evidenced by D’Angelo trending on Twitter—was when D took the stage to […]

D’Angelo will perform for the first time ever on Saturday Night Live this Saturday, January 31.  Since D’Angelo’s appearance on the show was announced earlier this month, fans have speculated as to whether his performance will be similar to Prince’s last November, when the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer played an unprecedented 8-minute set […]

D’Angelo dropped his anxiously-anticipated third studio album, Black Messiah, to everyone’s surprise on December 15.  Since then, long-time D’Angelo fans have been on stand-by, waiting for news of tour dates or at least a couple one night-only engagements stateside (European tour dates were announced shortly after the album’s released).  Word spread on Friday that D’Angelo […]

Legendary R&B/soul artist D’Angelo surprised the world on December 15 with the release of his third studio album Black Messiah, along with his newfound band The Vanguard. The Internet and the music community at large blew up over the digital release, but many wondered whether or not we’d get a physical vinyl release.      Our prayers were answered a […]

A key factor of D’Angelo’s greatness lies in the astral otherness of his voice. His concerts are one of the few reminders that it’s not disembodied. It’s soothing, but it’s also an all-encompassing connector. Through him, the time, regional and sonic barriers that separates the Princes, the Sly & The Family Stones, the Funkadelics and […]

  The very soulful D’Angelo just dropped an album after a 14 year hiatus. Die hard fans couldn’t manage to put it down, while new fans were filled with intrigue.   The “Brown Sugar” singer sat down with Red Bull Music Academy Radio and discussed the new project, and much more.   Take a listen […]

Well, this is happening fast. A week ago, it looked like we were going to go another year without new D’Angelo music. Within three days, we get an album title (James River is no more), a tracklist and a new song. At midnight, we’ll get the album itself. The folks at the listening party got […]
