D'Angelo Vinyl Records

D'Angelo's three studio albums across two decades define the neo-soul canon. Brown Sugar in 1995 carried the genre's first commercial moment; Voodoo in 2000, recorded at Electric Lady with Questlove and the Soulquarians, sits in its own category — one of the great American albums of the last 30 years; Black Messiah in 2014 emerged after a fourteen-year absence with the same craft intact.

The records are built for vinyl playback: D'Angelo's records breathe in a way that compression flattens. Voodoo in particular has an unhurried, behind-the-beat feel that only properly clicks on a good system.

Best D'Angelo Albums on Vinyl

Voodoo (2000)
— One of the great studio albums of the modern era. "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", "Devil's Pie", "Spanish Joint". Essential.

Black Messiah (2014)
— The fourteen-years-later follow-up, credited to D'Angelo and the Vanguard. Looser and more politically urgent than Voodoo.

Brown Sugar (1995)
— The debut. "Brown Sugar", "Lady", "Cruisin'". The album that kicked off the neo-soul wave.
