D'Angelo - Really Love: Track Review
Speaking of crazy people, it looks like neo soul legend D'Angelo finally put down the crack pipe (no, really) long enough to get back in the studio. Unless I'm forgetting something, and it's not like I do a very good job of keeping track of teh ghey R&B music, he hasn't released anything at all since 2000's Voodoo, which was a while ago. Shit, I was a freshman in college at the time, and I haven't been in college in a minute.
To hear the media tell it, D has spent the interim smoking crack, beating up women and flipping over cars, and I'd be lying if I said "Really Love" doesn't sound like the work of a man whose best days have long since passed a la Sly Stone's appearance at the Grammys a few years ago. He doesn't so much sing as he does mumble, and this groove doesn't sound altogether different from half the tracks on Voodoo, except that it's a lot more muddled and elevator music-y.
