This is a wonderful examination of an album I’d never listened to before. Just a few days ago, when I was writing about The Roots’ You Got Me, I happened upon a wiki article about the Solquarians and was motivated to fill in some of my musical blind spots. I listened to Voodoo for the first time a couple days ago and thought it was fantastic. Black Messiah was already on my list to enjoy this week, so the timing of this post is perfect as I can refer to this post as I listen.
Thanks for this Mark! Always love hearing how my write-ups can encourage musical discovery. Spoiler alert: The other D’Angelo record you mentioned is coming up on the publication calendar very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
Eloquent affirmation of a career spent defining something more with biting societal implications reinvigorating the main ingredient worthy of shooting this over to him the artist or his MGMT
Just going back to listen to this now as your write up was once again so good. You pick some real gems.
Appreciate the continued support Jon!
