      I started listening to his music around 3 years ago, only playing his full albums non-stop, one at a time. I couldn't contain my emotions and feelings from everything he and his teams put forth and through. And I'm really thankful for that because my cells respond to his music and artistry first and foremost. Then I stumbled upon the video of Untitled, it is sure not as surging as the latter that I mentioned thankfully haha. I still see it as extremely attractive and artsy. But the D'Angelo from 2015-2016, aye aye is as fine as great red wines go. I'm looking forward to his next project no matter what the decade :)

    How I hope he is done battling his demons.
    How his songs are ALWAYS welcome on the soundtrack of my life.

    I really love that the strings are mic'd, so that they can really be heard. They add a really luscious, sensual texture to the entire piece. When working with rhythm sections, I think that all strings should be mic'd, for this reason.

    I just want to preface this by saying I haven't really been exposed to D'Angelo's music before and wouldn't have considered myself a "fan" of his sound but I saw this on SNL and was (almost) literally floored by how amazing it was. I immediately came to TH-cam and re-watched these videos time and time again. Unbelievable. I got the CD and loved it. Proud to say I am now a fan.

    All night beside you I'd lay
    I love you deep when you come to my bed
    Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
    Ooh wah, I'm in really love with you
    When you touch me there
    When you make me tingle
    When our nectars mingle
    I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love
    I'm not an easy man, to overstand, you feel me
    But girl your patient with me
    Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you, I'm in really love with you
    [CHORUS]
    All night I wish for you here
    Lay your head beside my hip
    Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
    I'm in really love with you
    Doo doo wah, I'm in really love with you
    I'm in really love with you
    Oh how I love the little things you do
    I'm in really love with you

    Just came back from a D'angelo show last night (Birmingham, UK) and i can honestly say it's the best live show i've ever seen. You can't really understand D's greatness until you see him perform live; his energy, vocal performance (somehow he sounds even better) and just overall stage show. He really interacts with the crowd and band, you feel like you're up there jamming with him. Magical.

    From day one I have been a fanatic of D's music. Yet around this time last year I took up learning and playing the guitar. It has made enjoying music like this even more.
