i first saw rumblings about this on twitter, unattributed, and thought it was new kanye, got really excited - this is arguably more unexpected, and also v fucking cool
still a little bummed it's not kanye tho, not gonna lie

Black Messiah is a good/intriguing title for indicating where D'Angelo is going with this record but as a Kanye title it would just seem kind of on-the-nose and redundant with Yeezus imo

so every December we're gonna have messiahs, it seems!

xp oh absolutely. my brain just immediately went to kanye rather than d'angelo because to be quite honest i never thought we'd hear anything from the man again, questlove rumors or no questlove rumors

me too.
he's had a steady live band (chris dave on drums, pino, etc) but it sounds like it's a different crew in the studio (some ?uestlove drum tracks, some James Gadson {which i can't wait to hear}, etc).

may have mentioned this elsewhere but when i moved to NYC from middle tennessee, i bought a one way bus ticket and took two bags and a discman with a freshly bought copy of voodoo which had just come outi listened to it more or less for 24 hours nonstop this would be an important step forward

Considering all the pressure and expectations were in no small part what accounted for all the false starts and delays, it seems like tempting fate to name an album "Black Messiah."
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 December 2014 23:11 (nine years ago) link
how does a "listening party" count as a debut

I'm actually looking forward to this album. D'Angelo's always been one of my blind spots.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 12 December 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link
Really hope the imagery he's putting out with this has some substance to it that's actually reflected in the album, cause otherwise...
― tsrobodo, Friday, 12 December 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link
Black Messiah sounds like a purposeful title. I don't expect an overload of sexytimes jams.
― Mailkhimp (Johnny Fever), Friday, 12 December 2014 23:18 (nine years ago) link
wasn't it supposedly called 'James River' until recently?
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 12 December 2014 23:29 (nine years ago) link
iirc he floated the title James River like 5 years ago and hasn't said that was the title since then, but since it was one of the only shreds of detail anybody had about the album the title kinda stuck in the public mind

god let's hope. a surprise d'angelo album's good too, obviously.
it's just not the holiday season anymore, unless there's an awesome surprise album release.
