Artist: D'AngeloTitle: Voodoo
Year: 2000
Rating: ****½
Notes: This album took a while to grow on me. It's very different from "Brown Sugar" - more complex, deeper. Even more soulful than its bedroom music predecessor, perhaps. It's sparse at times, and mostly has a very measured pace, which is part of the reason why it's not very striking at first. But after five or 10 listens, the grace and intelligence of it starts to appear. It's very unique, I don't have anything else in my library like it, which is another reason why I value this disc so much.
