After 14 years, D’Angelo might be releasing his highly anticipated Black Messiah album.
The singer’s last release was in 2000 with Voodoo, but D’Angelo was afterward submerged in substance addiction and self-doubt after fans focused more on his body than his music.
But now D’Angelo is back with The Vanguard (a band that may include Questlove) for his release of Black Messiah just next week. The LP should release in 2014, and D’Angelo will host a private event on Sunday for interested listeners to get a taste.

One person who appears to have already heard the record is pop singer Justin Timberlake. His review of the album was summed up in two words, “Good, God.”
From what @questlove gave me a preview of…….? Good God, #BlackMessiah @TheDangelo
