Throwback Pick of the week

D'Angelo: Brown Sugar


Since there seems to be word that after a 10 year layoff D’Angelo is finally about to drop his 3rd cd I decided to review what got it all started Brown Sugar!  This is one of the best cd’s to introduce yourself to the world.  Very rarely can you put in a cd please play and let it ride this one is one of those rare times. The title track Brown Sugar lets you know this is a throwback singer in present times before there was Anthony Hamilton we had D’Angelo.  A standout moment about this cd is that there are no features on here at all. So you really get an introduction to who D’Angelo is as an artist. There are no bad songs on this cd at all even a song call Shit, Damn, Motherfucker you would think is wack it’s pretty considering the title.  The whole cd is a stand out cd that you can’t go wrong at all. The standout songs to me on this cd are Me & Those Dreamin’ Eyes of Mine, Cruisin’ & Lady start with these 3 and won’t be disappointed at all. Cruisin original done by Smokie Robinson that I feel D’Angelo made it sound better than the original version.  Anybody with that special lady in the life will feel the song Lady from start to finish.  Like I said in the beginning just put in this cd and let it ride you can’t go wrong at all.



This cd was classic from the beginning to end and show how much of a beast D’Angelo was go be in at the time wasn’t called Neo-Soul but he is the godfather of it I think. I rate this cd 5 out of 5 CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
