He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy!


D'Angelo and the Vanguard - Black Messiah

D’Angelo’s third album came out in 2014, emerging from a period when his life had gone completely to shit.

This all gets channeled into a murky, complex, heavily-layered funk album, often compared to Sly & the Family Stone’s There’s A Riot Goin’ On for good reason.

Questlove played on the album, as does – to my surprise – Pino Palladino.

It’s my favourite of his three studio albums.
