Music: D'Angelo's Flawless
D’Angelo has linked with The Vanguard for his third studio album “Black Messiah.” From start to finish “Black Messiah” captures the true essence of R&B. The album is truly a shot in the heart for a genre of music that was surely on life support.
Black Messiah has everything that you could ever want in an R&B album: social consciousness, love, pain, fun, and every other feeling a human being goes through in life.
With flawless music provided by The Vanguard, D’Angelo has managed to create a project that flows together beautifully without any of the songs sounding alike.
“Black Messiah” puts you in the mind of timeless musicians such as Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Al Green. Far too many times with today’s music, you can’t tell if the artists is a rapper or a singer. With “Black Messiah” there will be no such confusion.
With so many outstanding songs, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. One thing is for certain, if you listen to “Black Messiah” and your feet aren’t tapping and your fingers aren’t snapping, somebody should check your pulse, because you may be dead.
I don’t sing the praises of things I don’t believe in. In my opinion Lauryn Hill’s “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is the greatest album I have ever heard in my life. D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” is the second best album I have ever heard in my life.
To put it even more simply: I’m listening to it while I write this review. If you want to hear R&B in its truest form, please pick up the album. It’s not the same R&B/Hip-Hop that you so often get today.
