![]() This isn’t the only song on Black Messiah that has striking similarities with other classics. But every once in a while, it just slides…like Vroom!Īnd before you know it, it’s “back to the way it was.” ![]() The kind of hop you’d expect from old jump blues musicians like Cats and The Fiddle or Louis Jordan. It’s the sort of thing you might not even realize is great to dance to unless you try. That song has a groove that doesn’t make sense on paper. For instance, I remember dancing to D’Angelo’s, “Back To The Future,“ with my girlfriend on Christmas morning like we didn’t give a fuck. This album really helped me take my mind off shit. But the important things stick out in my mind. As is expected when you go through a death in the family. I don’t remember a lot from December 2014. I listened to it again, and again, until the sun came up. I listened to it in the dark, sitting on my parents couch, watching lights blink on their Christmas tree until they were just one big blur of neon color. This was the state of mind that I began streaming Black Messiah on Spotify, a couple days later, on the night it dropped. How could I possibly care about D’Angelo? The fact that I had been anxiously awaiting this album for years didn’t matter. When I read the news that D’Angelo would soon be dropping his “long, long-awaited” album I was in shock, literally.
