Beyonce Celebrates 15 years of D'Angelos 'Voodoo' Album
Just shy of a week, January 25th marked the 15th year release anniversary of D’Angelo’s classic sophomore album, Voodoo. Saint Heron and some of their special artist friends reflect on the album, celebrating one of music’s greatest masterpieces.
BEYONCE
Voodoo is as relevant today as it was when it first came out. D’Angelo’s harmonies, instrumentation and arrangements are iconic and timeless. His song structure of mixing classic R&B with the true roots of gospel jam session still resonates today. It is an album you can listen to from start to finish. This is the DNA of black music; all the love, pain, social statements and rawness punctuated by his effortless vocal progression from his funky low register to his sexy falsetto. My favorite song on the album is “Africa” and “Untitled” definitely inspired my song “Rocket.”
