I hope he finishes the album and then keeps it to himself because it's too good and the world is not ready yet
― Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 19:05 (nine years ago) link
He means two weeks, total, not in a row. Like, one hour one week, three the next, third week off, one year off, two days in a row ...

it's funny/sad that anybody involved with the project even tries to tell people how much is done anymore. i totally believe that there's probably a lot album-worthy music ready to go, but at this point they should realize that people are tired of promises and just want a single and a release date.
― some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 21:01 (nine years ago) link
at brooklyn bowl a year ago quest was like "the album is 98% done!" but still literally made the crowd cheer as loud as possible so that d'angelo would understand how badly we wanted to hear the new album
it was kinda sad

I wouldn't believe a release date.

yeah this has basically taken on mbv levels of trolling. if it shows up it shows up but i refuse to get my hopes up about anything until then.

IF his live shows are anything to go by he's become far more guitar oriented but its not clear that he has the chops to pull that off.
I'm guessing somewhere between discordant overkill and tepid disappointment, if anything does materialise.
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 26 June 2014 07:56 (nine years ago) link
i haven't been mega-thrilled by the funk/go-go workouts that he seems to favor these days, i want to hear him go even further down the inward-looking close-mic'd quavering intensity of voodoo, where you feel like you're suspended in amniotic fluid or something

me too but this seems unlikely. he already made Voodoo, and the new material seems like it will be more straightforward or extroverted (ironically). but who knows, really.

Not much new stuff there. But this caught my eye:
Christgau: I will believe that [D'Angelo's third album] is a good record when it's in my hands and I hear it. But I am skeptical. I don't believe he has the profile of a genius. I think he has the profile of an unreliable artist. I can tell you what I'm certain is going to happen—is nobody is going to know what to make of the record when they write about it. There will be just reams of bullshit written about it. I am certain of it. The long-awaited follow-up album never gets a smart review. You just need time to absorb it.
True, this.

Why always so much talk about a Voodoo followup, I'm still waiting for the follow up to Brown Sugar, it's been 20 years.
why do they have to subtitle is "longreads or whatever"why

And how is that Christgau quote anything other than bullshit? This place is hilarious sometimes.

i'm not sure you understand what a follow-up is
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 6 October 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link
im not sure you do
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 6 October 2014 20:02 (nine years ago) link
ok let's just agree to be unsure
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 6 October 2014 20:03 (nine years ago) link
was E.T a follow up to Raiders of the lost ark?
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 6 October 2014 20:05 (nine years ago) link
yes. it's the next major work by the same person (and in music, using the same name). i think you're looking for "sequel"? and sequel albums are usually shitty.
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 6 October 2014 20:11 (nine years ago) link
You're talking about the noun follow up, I'm talking about adjective follow up. Adj. follow up as to relate to, reinforce, evaluate, a previous action. That's not the same as a sequel. Voodoo was not a follow up to Brown Sugar. Any more than Purple Rain was a follow up to Controversy.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 12:18 (nine years ago) link
There's no indication that this new album will be a follow-up to Voodoo in the sense that you're talking about so what exactly is your point?
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 12:40 (nine years ago) link
who has actually made a 'follow-up' album in the sense you're talking about? unless the songs are actually from the same sessions, i don't even know what that would mean. was The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse really a follow-up to The Blueprint?
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 13:53 (nine years ago) link
I said I was still waiting for a Brown Sugar follow up, 'what exactly is your point?'
In pop music history? You want me to list the 1000s of albums that fit?
Not sure what's setting you off with the statement "im still waiting for a follow up to Brown Sugar", as in, I like Brown Sugar D'Angleo more than Voodoo D'Angelo and I wouldn't have minded him revisiting that sound.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 14:32 (nine years ago) link
ok good luck with that, since it's not usually how art or time works (although i guess it is how Rick Rubin works).
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link
I didn't say it's how it works but people like what they like. You seem to have a problem with me preferring Brown Sugar. Do I respect Prince's current music? Yes. Do I prefer him on Dirty Mind and Controversy? Yes. Would I have liked more Brown Sugar D'Angelo? Yes. Get over it? Yes.
Meanwhile keep co-signing foolish critics saying shit like "he doesn't have the profile of a genius, he has the profile of a unreliable artist"
― Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
ha, ok man.
i didn't say anything about this? i think he's an unreliable genius fwiw (which is nothing).

― You've been yelped (stevie), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 15:58 (nine years ago) link
in the music business it's common to refer to an album that comes directly after another album "the followup" to that previous album. Raccoon Tanuki has his own place where people don't actually use that term and anybody who does get called out. you gotta watch your goddamn mouth around Raccoon Tanuki
― The Complainte of Ray Tabano, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
Brown Sugar > Voodoo though we're all agreed on that.

kinda tired of waiting tbh
I saw this guy live on tuesday night which was a bucket list gig for me - it's the first time he's ever played in Australia. He was 70 minutes late and elongated all the songs to ridiculous lengths (I feel like Untitled lasted 15 minutes or something), but it was totally glorious, one of the best shows I've seen in ages.
Unfortunately I don't think anyone's written about it yet, the only article I've seen on the show is from TMZ making cheap shots about his weight - which, well, he doesn't look like he did in the Untitled video anymore but we've known that for years, and he seemed happy, healthy enough and uninhibited to me.
I was standing just in front of the VIP section where I noticed Angie Stone lurking at one point.
