*sigh*  It should be pretty clear that I’m crazy about this man.  D’Angelo stops in Paris at Le Zenith and blesses the crowd with the undisputable fan favorite, “Untitled (How Does It Feel?)”.  After watching this clip and hearing that soulful, passionate voice, I can definitively state, “It feels damn good.”  Although his performance isn’t as steamy as the music video, the raw passion is still there.  With just his piano and his vocals, it’s the closest we’ll get to appreciating D’Angelo’s stripped vulnerability (for now–hopefully).

Enjoy.

Guess Who’s Back??: D’Angelo Shows Out in Stockholm

After many years of lingering anticipation, neo soul trailblazer D’Angelo has finally returned.  And he’s showing up and showing out like he’s never left.  R&B Jesus is currently touring 11 cities in Europe and, judging from the footage, KILLING each inch of the stage.

What I found below…jammin’.  D’Angelo converts the classic “Brown Sugar” into a funked out jam session riddled in Prince/Morris Day & The Time-inspiration.  I was about to hit “The Bird” and everythang.

I’m looking forward to when he makes it back to the States.  I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been waiting for 12 years for the resurrection of R&B Soul.
