Enigmatic neo-soul auteur D’ANGELO (real name Michael Archer) has kept a low profile for over a decade but has now finally released his third album, ‘Black Messiah,’ which is out now via RCA/Sony Music. The long-awaited follow-up to 2000’s ‘Voodoo,’ the album features twelve freshly-minted tracks and is credited to D’ANGELO & THE VANGUARD.
D’Angelo rose to fame with his hit debut album, ‘Brown Sugar,’ in 1995, a groundbreaking set that established a stylistic template for what would be dubbed ‘neo-soul.’
So, has ‘Black Messiah’ been worth the wait? Find out soon when SJF will give its verdict…
