Good lookin' out on the Tiny Desk concert.

I've been watching nothing but World Cup the last month so I haven't been listening to as much music or visiting the music sites I normally go to.

I've been listening to this while working today. D'Angelo chatting with the Red Bull Music Academy earlier this year. Posted ?uestlove's chat to.

Yo romedadude romedadude , you talk about Syd & Matt matching your musical tastes, ?uestlove is my musical clone. :smokin
 
:rofl:

Look, I can't sing, dance, or play any instruments. But I can throw some inspiration around, research some liner notes, drop ideas and be a tough critic. A lot of artists need that, hell we all need somebody keeping it 100 in our lives.

I think i posted the D'Angelo interivew when it dropped. That was a great talk and insight into his musical upbringing. I gotta check that Questlove one though. That man is a walking music encyclopedia, it's wild how much he knows and how many people he knows. He's an example of how music can connect you with anybody, it bridges age gaps, language, money, etc.

That Internet mix got me checking out Raleigh Ritchie now, These UK artists got SOULLLLLLLL!

D'Angelo is never dropping that album huh

I honestly think it's coming this year or at latest 1st qtr next year. Now, that I've finally SEEN him give a video interview I'm more hopeful it'll drop. In 2011-12 when ?uest was saying it was "90% done," we barely had any evidence outside of the GQ interview and a few random performances. I'm seeing more stuff now so I'm optimistic.

Listened to that ?uest Red Bull lecture, I don't really pay close attention to drum patterns that much, but after he talked about the changes post-Dilla, I'm paying more close attention.

Yeah there wasn't much evidence of an actual album but when you let the word out that early you start expecting things :lol:

 
D's manager Kevin Liles was quoted as saying last month that the album will most likely drop in October of this year. I think I or someone else posted about it last month in here.


D'Angelo's New Album Will Arrive This Year, Manager Says
International tour expected to follow starting this fall and stretching into 2015
By Jon Blistein

D'Angelo will release a new album this year and embark on an international tour sometime in October, his manager Kevin Liles insisted in a new interview with Billboard.

D'Angelo's collaborators have teased the long-awaited follow-up to his 2000 masterpiece, Voodoo, for years, but Liles now says recording for the album is virtually done and that the singer is mixing and mastering the new set of tracks. So much was put to tape during the sessions, Liles added, there might even be a few bonus albums.

Liles described the record's sound as wide-reaching, touching on everything from soul to rock. "t's very melodic and there's an influence of all the things he loves: there's James Brown, there's Prince, and everything people grew up loving D'Angelo for, from Brown Sugar to Voodoo." Liles said. "It's a mixture and an evolution of where he is right now. And you have to think that when you have the opportunity to work 10 years on an album, that album's truly gonna be what you want it to be. Is it limited to the kind of sound that he did with the earlier records? No, it's not."

Liles recalled how D'Angelo's perfectionism grew more focused after he returned to the stage in 2012. "He very bluntly put it, 'Kev, the studio and the stage: that's my lifeblood. Now that I've touched it again, now that I see it again, I wanna be sure that the baby I'm about to have — the album — that I take it to the point where it's all it can be.'"

While D'Angelo has some upcoming one-off shows — including a James Brown tribute at the Hollywood Bowl in August — Liles said an actual tour will begin in October with some international dates before the singer returns to the states, with the trek stretching into 2015.

Back in May, D'Angelo sat down with author Nelson George for a 90-minute conversation in Brooklyn as part of the Red Bull Music Academy. While the interview didn't touch on the new album, a surprisingly affable D'Angelo spoke about his past material, influences and musical aspirations. In a telling moment, D'Angelo hinted at his future sound while discussing the limiting nature of a genre term like "neo-soul." "I respect it for what it is, but anytime you put a name on something, you just put it in a box," he said. "You want to be in a position where you can grow as an artist. You never want to be told, 'Hey, well, you're a neo-soul artist.' Right now, I'm not. We're going someplace else."

Chromeo's new album is one of my fav releases of 2014 thus far. Having worked with Mayer Hawthorne a few years back helped them evolve their style. One of their songs sounds like a MH track. here's a few joints from it:
