After a massive 14 year wait since his last album, the absolutely wonderful 'Voodoo' in 2000, one of the founders of neo-soul and one of the leaders of 90's R&B is back with his third album. This is apparently dropping TONIGHT so we have to wait no longer, in an almost Beyonce-ish fashion (well obviously not completely). Can't wait to hear what he has been working on all this time. vIBFMHvF2OI

I know it will probably take a while to sink in how good this is, as D'Angelo is one of these artists for me that I have to keep on listening and listening until I fully appreciate the genius behind. On first listen this album sounds like it will be an absolute masterpiece, it is just too good. I wonder what Pitchfork will give this as they gave 'Voodoo' a perfect 10.0 score, hoping for a 9.0 at least again.

Also, the lack of interest on Buzzjack is kinda sad considering Nicki can rack up 10+ pages . At least Pitchfork enjoyed it (score 9.4)
