Pick of the Week #3
Written by Pop Director on March 9, 2020
Black Messiah
Submitted by: Nina Collavo!!!
Artist: D’angelo
Genre: Funk Rock, R&B, Neo-Soul
key tracks are: Really Love, Ain’t That Easy, Betray My Heart
describes the music as: Soulful, warm, smooth, eccentric
and believes: This album is really adventurous in what it sets out to do, and it succeeds in a memorable way: tying together D’Angelo’s smooth vocals with layered and eclectic beats. The production and mixing especially on the instrumentals is really clean, and the beats themselves are fresh, unpredictable, and irresistibly groovy. People call it “controlled chaos” or “beautiful chaos” and I couldn’t agree more.
