In the tailwind of D’Angelo‘s October 14th passing after a private battle with pancreatic cancer, your humble narrator was shell-shocked in a melancholic malaise. Over a week of confounding parasocial grief eventually gave way to a torrent of inspired creativity & righteous purpose. I found catharsis in embarking on a couple of legacy projects in tribute to the dearly departed.
This very lengthy, meticulously-crafted, deeply-intentional memorial episode welcomes a diverse smattering of vibrant voices across geography & generation. Musicians/artists, journalists, poets, archivists, superfans navigating the seismic loss, mining inspiration & mourning this monumental spirit in our own loving words & ways.
