Neo-soul pioneer D'Angelo is, hands down, one of the most elusive artists operating in the industry today. Despite the 14-year hiatus between his second and third albums and sparse releases, his repertoire has immense staying power – not only due to its game-changing innovation but also due to the public's fascination with the mystique surrounding the artist.
This all boils down to the fact that the multi-hyphenate D'Angelo, once dubbed “R&B Jesus,” is obsessed with details and musical nuance, as reflected in his three albums: his 1995 debut Brown Sugar, 2000's Voodoo, and 2014's Black Messiah.
