Description

A seismic return after a 14-year hiatus, Black Messiah is D’Angelo’s third studio album and a masterclass in politically charged, groove-laden soul. Backed by The Vanguard — a supergroup featuring Questlove, Pino Palladino, and James Gadson — the album fuses vintage funk, gospel, and psychedelic textures with raw, analogue warmth.

Pressed on heavyweight vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, this 2×LP edition captures the urgency and intimacy of D’Angelo’s vision. From the Prince-channeling opener Ain’t That Easy to the haunting The Charade and the lush ballad Really Love, Black Messiah is both a spiritual reckoning and a sonic triumph.
