Um . . . the photo accompanying the following blurbage was taken sometime in 2005. This is my first time seeing it. *sighs* But um, yeah I’m sooooo happy to hear my beloved, D’Angelo, is making moves towards the light. He is truly one of my favorite artists. And as you can see - there is work to be done. Anyhoo, sounds like the kid is laying some of those nasty habits to rest and tryna “get-right”. I got your back, D - can’t wait to cop your next masterpiece. For real.
America, I feel a D’Angelo inspired RADIO.BLOG coming on . . . Ladies get ready.
D’Angelo is Ready for His Close-Up — Again.
” The neo-soul crooner who put many in a tizzy –by simulating a sex act in his music video for the song ‘Untitled’ (How Does It Feel) — is staging a comeback. ‘BV Newswire’ has learned that the Virginia native, legally known as Michael Eugene Archer, is fresh from a stint at the Antigua outpost of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre, where he was drying out from substance abuse. And he’s ready for business. Angie Stone’s “baby’s daddy” is in The Big Apple this week collaborating on new tracks with Common and Q-Tip, respectively, for their forthcoming album projects. The 32-year-old ‘Devil’s Pie’ singer also took meetings with Virgin Records urban music honcho Jermaine Dupri to explore ways to re-ignite his once thriving career. Veteran music executive Gary Harris (with whom he created magic with 1994’s groundbreaking ‘Brown Sugar’) is said to be working closely with the two-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter. ”
“High powered music industry titan Irving Azoff (Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Seal) is also in the mix.”
” The news of D’Angelo’s return to music should be welcome balm to his legion of fans (who helped propel his two studio albums ‘Brown Sugar’ and ‘Voodoo’ to platinum sales). His most recent buzz includes run-ins with the law for a 2005 traffic violation and a 2002 charge for assault and resisting arrest. (source)”
Here’s a short clip of my beloved in happier times. Can you feel the creative energy circling around the studio or what? MF’rs was jammin’.

Water Get No Enemy, is one of the hottest Fela bangers ever. Common used Fela samples on LWFC, and so many artist attribute their musical heritage to the genius himself. I keep Fela in constant rotation and mind. One can never have enough of the truth.
