With 1995's Brown Sugar, D'Angelo introduced himself as perhaps the greatest hope for R&B since the heyday of Prince.Fortunately, the vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist had the fortitude to back up that formidable reputation, and his commercial success helped usher in a new era of hip-hop soul.
Here's a lil' gem i came across of outtakes from D'angelo's famous Voodoo album. A lot of tracks are him just messin around on the keyboard. A few others are covers of popular soul cuts.
I especially like his rendition of Gangstar's 'ex girl to the next girl.' Enjoy and share. Everybody loves the sunshine 2. Fair but so uncool 3. Go back 2 the thing 3. Spanish Joint (Acoustic) 7.
Africa (Acoustic) 8. If you got funk, you got style 9.
Pete Rock beat 10. Superman Lover 11.
Ex to the next 12. Hard to earn.
Five years after his Brown Sugar album helped launch contemporary R&B, D'Angelo finally returned with his sophomore effort, Voodoo. His soulful voice is just as sweet as it was on Brown Sugar, though D'Angelo stretches out with a varied cast of collaborators, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove and guitarist Charlie Hunter, fellow neo-soul stars Lauryn Hill and Raphael Saadiq, and hip-hop heads like Jay Dee, DJ Premier, Method Man & Redman, and Q-Tip.
