d'angelo and the vanguard - black messiah

Black Messiah by D'Angelo and The Vanguard is a powerful and socially charged fusion of neo-soul, funk, rock, and jazz. Released in 2014, this long-awaited album is both a musical triumph and a bold commentary on political and social issues, reflecting themes of love, identity, and resistance. Tracks like “Sugah Daddy,” “The Charade,” and “Really Love” showcase D'Angelo’s signature falsetto, intricate instrumentation, and raw, organic production.

With its rich layers and complex rhythms, Black Messiah is a soulful, immersive experience that draws on the legacy of 1970s funk and soul, while firmly rooted in the present. It’s an essential and transformative work that solidified D'Angelo’s status as a visionary artist.
