I'll take that over 90% of what is being categorized as R&B. Put the album out already D'. It's been 7 years...

Who would be classified as Electro-soul? Some music genres don't make any sense.

This is a perfect song, nice beat and D half singing, half mumbling.

Lmao I'd hate to say this, but all the coke or crack you're scared he has been smoking hasn't affected his voicebox, from his RH Factor appearances and Snoop Dogg cameo, D is well capable of carrying a tune, this is a demo or something, but whatever it is it's a sign

This song is great. Melody, mumbling, singing, whatever. It is music. D doesn't seem to be into speaking to all you kids out there on the web. D is almost old school now. Ya'll won't get this. Ya'll gon' lean and snap and pop... We're blessed with D'Angelo. Especially with this statement non statement. You critics need a penis of your own.

I liked it my d@mn self, even if he was high or not, half of the cats out here today cant even make half the shit he could so all that negative talk about D can fall the hell back, everybody around here believe all the damn rumors(big ass lies) when he was the main person neosoul music was based on...the human brain has been drenched, soaked, brainwashed in **** load music and when you finally hear something thats original you cant take it because slappin that ass, makin money, and doing drugs and whatever else the hell you`ve been listening to since he hasnt been out has sat in your heads and I dont even know what it will take to get it out, I can see you dont know real music and for the ones who left positive feed back, thankyou for having a REAL ear for music we all know "D" is the best artist, oh yeah and **** that (neo) shit his ass cant touch "D"

Hey Literal Johnson, there is this thing called sarcasm that people use in their writing which, like satire and irony, is not meant to be taken at face value. And just because he's one of the best artists of the last 20 years doesn't mean he's immune to putting out bad material. Thanks

I like ne yo, and he does write his own material. I like d'angelo more.

Anyone can stumble. Doesn't matter if you're Michael Jordan or D'Angelo. In any case, the writer does state "All things considered, this is a fresh breath of air for a stale R&B/Soul genre (not counting the hybrid electro-soul genre)." Selective reading is a dangerous thing.

Hey covert......I understand that all in all it was a positive review..and yes I get that you're being sarcastic with the neyo statement. It just sounds like a whole bunch of whining like, (nerd voice) "..it's good, but golly, I can't understand what he's saying" and "However, I do have a lurking paranoia that all the coke, crack, and whatever else D was smoking for the past seven years has messed up his voicebox" sounds like a negative jab and bullshit statement to me. Seems a little more dangerous to write that in a song review than selective reading don't you think dave?? That aside, I'm just saying...people should be jumping out of their seats a little more to hear any kind of creative effort from D'angelo even if it's exaggerated, unless you want to listen to ******** songs meant for the 12-17 demographic like you said. Just think it should be a little more "hell yeah" instead of (nerd voice) " uhh...it's okay..wonder if he smoked to much crack though"..thanks

For everyone out there. This song was not to be released yet and it was released unauthorized. It is no where near finished and what you're hearing is demo. Rest assured, however, that when the album is completed, it will blow you away, fan or no. This is someone telling U who is close to the source

like all the rest said with some since, D~Angelo is the man, you need to stop listening to so much BULL SH!T because now you dont know what real music is, I LOVE DANGELO!, and how how in the world can you compare NEHO or NEYO to D~Angelo, thats like comparing homemade soulfood to mcdonalds, there is no comparison, neo is just a watered down version of usher, not even usher can touch dangelo NO ONE CAN, why do you think his fans are so freakin loyal to wait this long, because NO ONE is like him, what is your problem, that wasnt sarcasm you idiot, that was a shot at D (the man), and if you judging him you judging all the rest of the people that got his back, you must be one crazy ass freak to even saying anything parshly bad about dangelo, everyone makes mistakes, what man you know can come out of all he`s been through and still sound good...NONE you never have and never will, so stop frontin this SHIT WAS HOT, and this wasnt even finished yet...oh yeah and LU SAYS are you ?uest ?

this joint sounds straight but his voice sounds crazy and he sound like he mumbling alot in ti but he still doin it

This is one of the smoothest songs that D'angelo has come out with. Everything from the vocals to the instruments flows together really beautifully and that's the really why I love D'angelo. I've been waiting for him to come back and now that he has, I know that he will really SEND IT ON!!! (That's another smooth song I love.)

Tiya...Lu is not ?uestHe is my one true love...

[...] to be struggling to find his way, and I’m waiting with baited breath for his next album. (Really Love is really hot. What a great, soothing, summertime barbecue [...]

The thing about D'Angelo that makes him great is his ability to absorb many different music styles. From Jazz to Latin, Metal to Classical......he is a fan of it all....which takes his music in groundbreaking and fresh directions. D'Angelo will be one of those artists that stands the tests of time and will be still listened to 30 years from now. I hope he keeps flying straight.....it would be an absolute shame to lose yet another artist with such a high music IQ.Much love....from Boston.

I think that this is a perfect breath of fresh air. D is the only artist I know who makes totally original music and can make a cover sound like his own creation (crusin', feel like making love, etc.) D stays true to what he love and is.M indU nderstandingS oul'sI nternalC reativityD is the greatest. Next comes R. Kelly, who is the only one keeping soul music alive while D was away.

Mike Hayle Dangelo always mumbles, thats his MO. I listen to everything he does but everytime he comes out with a new song I still have to read the lyric sheet to really get the words. Ain't nothing wrong with it. His mumbling sounds better than 90% (I'm trying to be modest) of the "r&b" that's out there. His voice always goes in & out (similar to Aaron Neville but not exact). He's always done that. Listen to the song he wrote & tracked out on the Jason Lyric's soundtrack(for ya'll that didn't know) He opens up his voice on that track & it sounds fantastic. So He hasn't lost anything. There is one song that kept me pacified while waiting on the new album: SHAWN KANE's "Like Whitney Loves Bobby".Crafty One u said it the best.

U will know is the track name from the jason lyric soundtrack.

PFFFFFFT THIS IS TO FRESH! i hope D brings out his new album if this is a demo dam imagine his new **** WOOHOOO hahah neyo's ite.... but if people are comparing that rnb commercial shit to neo soul they have to get there heads in line and learn wats real and wats not cause this is real

OMG!! I am only 16 and I know enough to know that this is what you call real music. All the people that are hating on D really need to chill. I have loved D'Angelo ever since I was 5 years old and heard "Brown Sugar" (my favorite song of ALL time) for the first time. It's just something about his mumbling and the beats to his songs that just match up perfectly and this song is no exception. I luv it. Whether he was high while making this song or not, I honestly don't care. If he can make a song while being completely f*cked up and it still sounds better than most of the crap that's out nowadays, it just let's you know that D is a real artist. I really can't wait until his next album drops because Lord know that my "Brown Sugar" and "VooDoo" are worn out from being played so much.

This song is just PERFECT.. I love it.. Come back to us D' we need you..

i love you D and i hope to meet you one day stay up

i love ne-yo he writes all of his own material and some for others, d'angelo's voice is great always had been, this song review is trash, but like this corny review my statement is only an opinion, who gives a sh!t about what either of us has to say? let people listen and if they like it they'll buy his album, if not too d@mn bad, but none of that has to do with what he's done in the past or in the privacy of his home. leave him alone, you want to bash him don't buy his album, other then that get a life

this is my new favorite followed

Hey baby you rock, keep up the great work, god knows whats up! love you

I absolutely love D'angelo all his music is good. I'm feeling really Love and I can't wait for James River to come out I will be the first person in line to pick it up. And for whoever has something bad to say you can just stop hating on MY MAN because he has the greatest talent of anyone who has came in the 90's or 2000's!!!

damn. wonder how D felt when questlove leaked this joint. its great that he's recording again! im hoping to hear another 'sh... da... mother...
