It was at once challenging and fulfilling, something new and something familiar. At the time, the neo-soul movement was an alternative to the steadily flashier edge of '90s hip-hop and R&B, and Voodoo was its apex. D'Angelo, though, has historically felt little connection to the term, much the way no artist wants to contend with the expectations and limitations of genre; when the singer first broke through, he'd pegged his sound as, simply, "black music," and there is perhaps no better descriptor for the record despite its associations. Voodoo is a gumbo of black innovation—blues, jazz, soul, funk, gospel even—peppered by a full spectrum of humanity, from despair to sheer ecstasy. In 1998, D'Angelo, awed by the birth of his son, wrote the stirring "Send It On" in his honor, the new life signaling the creative explosion of what would become Voodoo. The grooves contained within the album are deep enough to swallow you, even and especially when they head past the six-minute mark. Take the most recognizable single, "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," and how its slow, deliberate pace is akin to seduction, or the opening track "Playa Playa," or "Feel Like Makin' Love," a cover of Roberta Flack's song of the same name—each one feels communal, as the instruments do as much heavy lifting as D'Angelo's electrifying falsetto. Everything feels perfectly in its place and yet unexpected and exciting. If Brown Sugar was a controlled burn, then Voodoo is a wildfire of ideas and experimentation, a balance between the improvised looseness of a jam session and the razor-sharp precision of a well-rehearsed genius.
Hands down, sexiest song on earth 人和人的吸引最大时应该在那近而不贴的距离中,Roberta Flack的原版里是几乎知性的女子诚恳的表述自己的渴望,而20多年后,D'Angelo把原来饭桌两边的两个人拉到闷热的酒吧角落里相隔几厘米的地方。真正的节奏灵魂乐在角落里把两人完全笼罩...

完美至极!!!极简化的编曲带来的是闷骚的氛围和奇妙的听感,虽简单,却不简陋,重叠的人声,极为突出的鼓点,精彩的groove,即兴般的乐器演奏,都那么出色。经典之作。太精致了。大师般的专辑

loose, groove-based funk,这张盘的亮点就是虽然大量吸收前辈经典但依旧做出了属于当下的新意,funk、soul的全新聆听方式,有一种复古、松散的迷人质感,用耳机听更好听。J-Dilla功德无量。(黑胶盘重温,补标)

弱化旋律连接,连节拍都非常轻柔,慢悠悠地和你谈性,谈人生,然后把你融化在里面
