43. D'ANGELO - BLACK MESSIAH (2014)Art. Art. Art. Art. Art.
Was listening to this today and felt svelte. This is smooth rhythm & blues sans thuglife. The song "Back to the Future" will feature on my compilation of the decade that I am soon to make. A track about going back to how you once were - I've been trying to do that for 10 years now and ironically this list has brought me right back to it.
Maybe my decade best songs list will be a mix, maybe a desert island disk. Maybe a suffusion or deconstruction of all three courses traditionally served over a set meal and then wolfed down like an alligator. Not sure.
One thing I am sure about is how much this artist means to me. I used to borrow CD's from the local library and burn them to Minidisc (if anyone remembers that !?!) when I was 17. In 2000 they had got in Voodoo - at the turn of the decade! Just in time for tastemaking! It was a brand new album among a load of scratchy ones like Moon Safari and OK Computer. I listened and got hooked. Then fourteen years later, cuntwolf follows it up and we're covered in glory again!
