While we wait for this American election to be called, and for the candidates to make their statements, I'm flipping that track from Toni Braxton we shared Monday. Feels appropriate given the news on Prop 64 passing here in California.
I heard Voodoo as a teenager when it came out at the turn of the century, and it hooked me, full line and sinker. Those drums from Questlove, those smooth vocals, the rhymes from Wu Tang Clansmen Method Man and Redman, that music video (you know the one).
Voodoo remains one of my most-often played albums from start to finish (best for a sexy dinner and date night at home), and when D'Angelo came back with the Black Messiah record in 2015 featuring his band, The Vanguard, I was over the moon. Seeing them perform at Outside Lands last year was the highlight of my summer festival-going experience. This track with the funky piano always puts me in a good mood.
