D’Angelo has finished Black Messiah, his first new album in 14 years
D’Angelo has finished his first new album in 14 years and will premiere it to the public during a listening session in New York on Sunday, December 14th. The follow-up to 2000’s Voodoo is titled Black Messiah and attributed to D’Angelo and his band the Vanguard. Fans can RSVP to the listening session, which is being hosted by renowned African American writer Nelson George. The event takes place at the Dream Hotel in Chelsea beginning at 4pm. In anticipation, the website for D’Angelo’s manager, Kevin Liles, has shared a brief teaser trailer for the album. There is some speculation that the album could be released to the general public as soon as December 16th, as photographs of the album’s jewel case are currently floating on Twitter. consequenceofsound.net/2014/12/dangelo-has-finished-black-messiah-his-first-new-album-in-14-years/

I would rather they prep this with a new single soon and the new album by February or so. Either way I'm anxious to hear this!

Hear D'Angelo's Brassy, Funky New Track 'Sugah Daddy'Soulful song is the first off R&B singer's long-awaited LP 'Black Messiah' 20before15.redbull.com/One day after D'Angelo revealed he and his band the Vanguard would release his new album Black Messiah – his first LP in 14 years – in the near future, the idea of the neo-soul singer putting out music again still seemed difficult to fathom. However, with a Black Messiah listening party scheduled for Sunday night, D'Angelo has provided proof that his new studio album is on the horizon: A new single called "Sugah Daddy," which the singer provided to Red Bull's 20Before15 series. "He is about to take a radical 180 turn with this record," Questlove told Rolling Stone of D'Angelo's new album in June 2012. "It's going to throw people off the same way that Prince's Dirty Mind threw his R&B fanbase off. In the past few years, he's discovered Bowie and Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Pet Sounds, Captain Beefheart and Zappa." Despite the influx of new influences, D'Angelo fans will be happy to know that he still makes music that is uniquely D'Angelo's: The brassy, funky "Sugah Daddy," which fully employs the singer's trademark falsetto, would slide comfortably on the back half of his neo-soul classic Voodoo. "I respect [the term neo-soul] for what it is, but anytime you put a name on something, you just put it in a box," D'Angelo said in May. "You want to be in a position where you can grow as an artist. You never want to be told, 'Hey, well, you're a neo-soul artist.' Right now, I'm not. We're going someplace else." "Sugah Daddy" is more of an update on his neo-soul sound than a redefinition. "Sugah Daddy" is only D'Angelo's second studio song since he released Voodoo in 2000; another non-album cut called "I Found My Smile Again" accompanied his The Best So Far… in 2008. Live performances of "Sugah Daddy" date back to 2012, when D'Angelo's long-awaited record was still tentatively titled James River and "99 percent" finished. Black Messiah's creation was so long in the works, Red Bull evens cracked Detox and Chinese Democracy jokes in their press release announcing the arrival of "Sugah Daddy." Since the beginning of December, Red Bull's 20 Before 15 series have been offering up exclusive tracks from artists and Red Bull Music Academy collaborators like Lil Herb with Earl Sweatshirt, Dengue Dengue Dengue and Elliphant with Mø. Each day, the first 1,000 people who visit the site get to download the day's track for free. After that, the track is then offered up only as a stream.

LOL he just went and stole Nicki's thunder. Sure, she may be winning on ITUNES right now but the music industry is not going to care now that D'Angelo's album has dropped.

Hmmmmmmm... on first listen, I can't say this one is grabbing me. I'm okay with a more jam session-oriented type of album. But there needs to be a dynamic personality at the center to make it work and he seems absent on some of these tracks.
And his vocals seem off, like maybe they're a twee bit shot. And I can't understand a single word he's saying on some songs, which is annoying AS F**K. A slurry, mumbling mess.
The production is ACE though. Some of the instrumentals are gorgeous.

I feel the same. I like it, but I'm sure I'll love it in the future. The same happened to me with Voodoo.

This is definitely one of those albums, much like Voodoo that is so well produced and has such an amazing vibe, that I'll play it in the background all the time. But will I ever truly connect with it? Probably not. I wish he could find a balance between his debut album and this sound.
