I had that twist bread for a couple days, and was eating whole slices raw! No french toast, no spread, nothing — just bread. 😂

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Autograph if they have it — but if there isn’t a Kimpton or Intercont. property around, I’m gonna not wanna go at all.

It’s also missing a 3rd category, as some ppl/places (like CFA) seem to think what is basically straight up fudge counts as a brownie. Fudge-y and actual fudge are not the same consistency.

That album felt like a floating sun ray from beginning to end. Just warm and submerged in every kind of feeling.

Untitled is cool for sure but I’m about to run Really Love into the ground bc I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs I have ever or will ever hear. Black Messiah is one of the few albums I’ve ever bought in its entirety.

I remember the collective cultural exhale when D’Angelo resurfaced with “Black Messiah” and the album ended up being as good as the title announced it would be

My l’amour playlist is filled with these breathy love songs that make you feel every lyric in each sound. And I still check the liner notes to get even more from it.

People who can emote that way on wax are living art.

Got to see D’Angelo on August 9th, 2014, at the Crystal Ballroom. Easily the best concert I’ve ever been to. Here he is performing “Really Love”

RIP to the legend.

Cover art aside, I have many favorites but it took me the longest (decades) to realize why I played this song so much.

A masterful story weaver. Will be missed.
