Pros: A breataking hiphop-soul album, the first sign that R&B would be decent again Cons: SDM sucks
Along with a slew of bohemian goddesses led by Erykah ,Lauryn and Jill; Michael D'angelo Archer stands in a separate musical universe; miles above the conventional morass of transparent mass produced soul men ( Joe, etc.); and pea brained gangsta's ...
Pros: smooth as hell Cons: none unless you don't like getting play
1995-96 was an interesting time for pop music. In each major pop genre at the time (Rock, Hip Hop, Country, & R&B) at least one artist broke from the accepted formula, emerged as an innovator, and eventually blew up as a superstar. The innovation...
Pros: Very talented R&B artist, smooth beat, draws you in.. Cons: Some tracks are better left on the reel-to-reel..
Hello fellow Epinions writers and welcome the first—and we hope annual—Music Review Jam. I can’t remember who came up with the idea, but here we are. Most of the reviews are Music category expert and we were all given two CD to review that have as yet...
Pros: Smooth love-making tracks, originality Cons: Only 10 tracks
Remember Smokey Robinson? Marvin Gaye? Teddy Pendergrass? Curtis Mayfield? So does D'Angelo... his style is heavily influenced by the aforementioned superstars, and it shines through his music.
Pros: seamless production Cons: none... it's a hell of a debut
By the mid-1990's even the most rabid R&B fan would concede that the genre was falling into a deep, generic void. The road was forking two ways; one leaning ardently towards the slick formula-driven smaltz perfected by Babyface and BoyzIIMen, and the...
When I first heard D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar", I felt something that I had never felt before:peace. Not only can you tell that he's feeling what he's saying,but he's sincere as well. On this, his debut, he proves that he's so much...
Pros: A Throwback to 70's Soul and Funk Cons: Too Short
Let's face it, R&B isn't wasn't it used to be. Not that there's a lack of talented singer's out there. R Kelly and K-Ci and Jo-Jo have tremendous voices, but musically most singers today vocalize over popular hip hop beats and sing too directly about...
Pros: Smoky Smooth Tracks, Honest Lyrics Cons: Less than 25 Tracks
When this CD debuted in 1995, no one knew what kind of impact this Virginia native would have on the world of music. Michael D'Angelo Archer not only released a reflective and thought provoking product, he more importantly ushered in a new wave of...
I bought this CD because, "D" (D'Angelo) had just come on the scene and I was vibing to "Brown Sugar", "Cruisin." I enjoy this cd because after a long day at work you can just pop it in and relax. It is mellow and...
R&B singers in need of a Teddy Riley or Babyface are put to shame here by the one-man-band-Prince-in-the-making D'Angelo. With his sultry voice gliding over every cut while nursing his smoky organ, D'Angelo emerges as one of the very few relying on...
On his debut CD, D'Angelo reminds me of the great singers of the past, like Marvin and Smokey, yet he has a sound all his own. His vocals draw you in and are so mesmerizing that many times you don't even hear the words until you play it again. This is...
