D'Angelo "Voodoo"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Virgin, Europe, 2015, 602547240842, 2xLP, 180g Vinyl, Reissue, Incl. Lyric Sheets Insert

D'Angelo’s second album, Voodoo (2000), is widely considered a classic and a cornerstone of the neo-soul genre. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios with the Soulquarians collective, the album is celebrated for its dense, "drunken" grooves, analog warmth, and experimental structure. Critics describe the sound as a "thick, gooey molasses of funk and jazz" that prioritizes groove over traditional radio-friendly melodies. The album is noted for its "intentional sloppiness"—a technique spearheaded by drummer Questlove and inspired by J Dilla, where beats are played slightly behind the click to create a human, unquantised feel.
