Upful Life
D'ANGELO sophomore LP & magnum opus 'Voodoo' was bequeathed to the world on this day in the year 2000."Like so many of us, music possesses my every day – almost every waking moment – to seek, learn, research, understand, and share. It’s precisely why I’ve chosen to devote my life to writing about music culture and associated experiences. As such, I’ve spent twenty-plus years, not just listening to D’Angelo, but studying him. Researching him. Devouring any and all material, articles, videos, and the recent documentary film on a weekly, and sometimes daily basis. I am somewhat obsessed, and I am not afraid to admit it. He’s a once in a lifetime talent, artist and performer. If James Brown was the Father, and Prince the Son, then D’Angelo is the Holy Ghost. He is our R&B Jesus. And Voodoo is his greatest Testimony. Mine too." -bgAn excerpt from 'MY REDEEMER', a deep dive on my favorite record of all time. Originally published Jan. 2020READ --> upfullife.com/voodoo2020/@thedangelo #dangelo #voodoo ...
