Stream D’Angelo’s new album ‘Black Messiah’, his first in 14 years

Almost exactly one year after Beyoncé shocked the world with her digital drop, D’Angelo surprises with the release of his first album in fourteen years, Black Messiah. The follow-up to 2000′s Voodoo hit iTunes on Sunday night, marking the long-awaited return of the king of neo-soul.

The 12 tracks, which he recorded with his band The Vanguard, include the lead single Really Love and the funky Sugah Daddy which dropped yesterday.

D’Angelo addressed the controversial album title. “It’s about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decided to make change happen,” he said in a statement. “Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape where those songs can live to the fullest.”
