This is great news. I hope he has cleaned himself up and is able to make a comeback.
"On the evening of July 6, without any introduction, Michael Eugene Archer, better-known as D'Angelo, stepped onstage at the Essence Music Festival. The neo-soul singer performed a 75-minute set, filled with funky guitar riffs, tight harmonies, sly two-steps and his signature falsetto.
His performance at the festival's 18th anniversary, sponsored by Coca-Cola, was undoubtedly the performer's most highly publicized and anticipated show since the one-time "R&B Jesus" toured in 2000 to promote sophomore studio album "Voodoo" (Virgin) and his second-highest-charting single, "Untitled (How Does It Feel)." Voodoo landed atop the Billboard 200 for two weeks and spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. "Untitled" debuted on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No. 65 on Jan. 8, 2000, and peaked at No. 2 two months later."
I am hoping he brings NYC a show like this ... I'm thinking Joe's Pub, Highline Ball Room or Irving Plaza ... damn I gotta say it I do believe he's back!!! Absolutely amazing show.
This one's for the Prince fans, trust.
"MAY YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BUT NEVER WANT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. MAY YOU LIVE TO BE 100, & ME 100 BUT MINUS A DAY, SO THAT I'LL KNOW THAT NICE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, HAVE PASSED MY WAY. AND REMEMBER, WHEN FRANKIE CROCKER ISN'T ON YOUR RADIO, YOUR RADIO JUST ISN'T REALLY ON."
I've heard this so many times over the years. But yes this time it feels like it's for real. Excited to hear new material.
Yeah, I had heard it many times before along with the talk of a third album being "in the works." But it sounds like the album will finally be released this year.
