Voodoo 18th anniversary (D'angelo album)

[Ol’Otis]

this fukkin album held up great over time

Voodoo was released by Virgin Records on January 25, 2000, to commercial and critical success. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 320,000 copies in its first week, and spent 33 weeks on the chart. It was promoted with five singles, including the hit single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", whose music video garnered D'Angelo mainstream attention and controversy. Upon its release, Voodoo received general acclaim from music critics and earned D'Angelo several accolades. It was named one of the year's best albums by numerous publications.


It was recorded during 1998 to 1999 at Electric Lady Studiosin New York City, with an extensive line-up of musicians associated with the Soulquarians musical collective. Produced primarily by D'Angelo, Voodoo features a loose, groove-based funk sound and serves as a departure from the more conventional song structure of his debut album, Brown Sugar (1995). The album features lyrical themes regarding spirituality, love, sexuality, growth, and fatherhood.

Voodoo was definitely a dope album . Very groove-based and it had alot of good Funk/Jazz melodies. I heard he went into deep depression after the tour tho

it was pressure on him to stay in shape and keep up the sex appeal

And pressure after Voodoo to make a follow up that was just as good.
