JULY 14, 2017 | PUBLISHED BY BANDINI
Twenty-two years ago this month D’Angelo released his celebrated debut album, Brown Sugar. That EMI Records effort would debut at #22, and march onward to platinum status and four Grammy nominations. The album, and its five-year hold before a follow-up introduced one of the modern stars of Soul music. D’Angelo immediately proved that he certainly could sing, but he was also a clever writer and a gifted producer. While new on the scene, the Virginia native gathered support from A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad and crew engineer Bob Power, Raphael Saadiq, and Angie Stone for his 10 tracks. The album has aged beautifully as both art as a defined chapter in the sound and message of Michael Eugene Archer.
