iTunes Review
Black Messiah ends one of R&B's most mysterious disappearing acts, arriving almost 15 years after D'Angelo's sophomore full-length, Voodoo. Filled with fluid musicianship, political dissent, and bewitching production, Black Messiah is a mosaic of funky, rule-breaking neo-soul that's alternatively rebellious, sensual, and deeply spiritual. The serpentine melodies of D'Angelo's ‘90s work are here, but they’re pushed to an experimental edge by his aptly named band, The Vanguard ((which includes Roots drummer Questlove and jazz luminary Roy Hargrove). Soulful keyboards and richly layered vocal harmonies are at the core of the psych-funk of “Ain’t That Easy” and the piano-driven saunter of “Sugah Daddy,” which stand in contrast to guitar-spiked protest songs like “1000 Deaths” and “The Charade.”

#BlackMessiah
Real R&B is back.
Hallelujah!!! The Black Messiah returns to claim his throne.
I don’t think anyone understands what this release from D'Angelo means. A sincere resurgence of true R&B with live instruments!!! Listen to the difference in quality vs. crap. Thank God he’s returned. We need this right now!!
Amazing!!! 😁😳😱
Amazing!!! I needed this! It's a music lover's dream!!! I just regained some hope in humanity!
