Free Music Notes for Voodoo

Free Music Review: The Leader Of the Pack...
Hit: 5 Stars

Man when this album finally came out,it blew people away...Theres so many reasons "why" this album is classic, but lets just look at the facts, James Poyser, Questlove,Pino Pallidino, J-Dilla, Raphael Saaqiq, Roy Hargrove,Meth & Red,Dj Premier, Angie Stone (writing/background)and the Legendary Russel Elevado recording it all track for track @the infamous Electric Lady...Come on people,

So, we dont hear a solid project from the man in years, ok. The media is plastered with news of drug addiction, rehab, personal issues, and his lable has lost faith in the man, along with countless rumors an unflattering pics on the internet...Now people want to condemn him. SHAME...

First off lets think what R&B looked and sounded like before Voodoo? ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! Except for R. Kelly (the king of R&B) Jaheim (thugged out R&B over classic samples) and of course Musiq SoulChild (who at the time was still trying to catch up to the lush harmonies an songwriting of Brown Sugar)...

Devils Pie comes out...Perfect timing on the pulse of what was goin' on in the "hoods" as far the street culture, supported by the Premier production, and Nas and Fat Joe samples for hip hop credibility... not to mention its basically the unofficial Belly theme (in the movie, ending credits and of course soundtrack)...

Then the Untitled video comes out and, and the R&B worlds goes crazy...Major rotation on BET, MTV, Prince gives his blessing of approval (the two collaborate, and D' appears in disguis with Prince and Angie Stone live on the Jay Leno show, playing live keys on "The Work"), and all artist focus on the "the total package" R.Kelly grows braids, and all of sudden everyones' in the gyms, concious of both the audio and visual aspects of being an artist...Come on?

The album is repetitive, thats because it seagues from one song to the next song,one groove to the next, blurring genres from soul,to funk, to straight jams,and the simplistic stripped down, groove of Africa,as always he shows his influences,hip-hop Meth & Red: Left & Right, Spanish Joint: Stevie Wonder, On The Line: Al Greene, Prince: Untitled, and Again Sly: on the brilliant Africa,

In the books this goes down the same road that Erykah Badu will later take on Worlwide Underground, (awesome artist expressions propelled by commercially acceptable and successful singles) cant wait til the new ish comes out to crush all the nay-sayers...

P.S. Them New "Neo-Soul" Cats aint SELLING NO RECORDS, GET REAL...

Voodoo Poster

Like Robin Hood working on a tip from Chuck D, D'Angelo has stolen back the soul that was missing from the just-add-water R&B scene. Voodoo is a simmering cauldron of sound, a magical collection. Stained with sweat, longing, and rage, this is an album with trouble on the brain. But it also includes sacred sweet nothings and rapturous raw rhythms to get you through the night. --Lizz Mendez Berry
Halfway through the languid midtempo ballad "Send It On" from D'Angelo's new sophomore effort, Voodoo, the young retro-soul maestro and band shift tempo and melody. It's a move so understatedly dramatic that it elicits comparisons not just to obvious touchstones Marvin Gaye and Al Green, but to the Jimi Hendrix of Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. While Voodoo is hardly in a league with such major statements, it's a record inviting enough to attract repeated plays of its 78-minute length. As on his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, D'Angelo covers a wide range of concerns--sex, home cooking, the destructive side of current street life--in a deceptively offhand manner. But he's a crafty craftsman: even a throwaway workout like "Chicken Grease" is blessed not only with a slinky groove and a guitar lick that deserves to be called just that, but bursts of Gaye-style vocal harmonies; the whole track, for all its retro flavor, ends up sounding like nothing else around. Throw in the blasts of anger that fire "Devil's Pie," the restatement of Bono's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" in "Greatdayindamornin'," and the complete takeover of Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love," and Voodoo proves one jam that was well worth the nearly five-year wait. --Rickey Wright
