Yup. Also, an extreme allergic reaction to the nuances of life and love. Most can’t bear the embarrassment of their own ego death, so they project instead of empathize… which is the total opposite of what you’re suppose to do with human-created art.

They do this with a lot of β€œmessy” art and it’s annoying. So telling of the critical and cultural zeitgeist

The kids on this album actually knew a lot about love… I’m sitting here like β€œHell yeah”

A miraculous album

I love this. Yolanda Adams is a beautiful person inside and out. She just gets it. She gets Christ. I really enjoyed working on this album with her.

This song is the greatest cover I’ve ever heard… unreal. I turn into Unc when this comes on.

And yes, Aretha is the greatest (female) vocalist of all time.

Opinion | D'Angelo's Pentecostal sound One of the innovators of what was called neo-soul, D’Angelo’s influence was far greater than you might expect from someone who only released three studio albums.

Best I've read on D'Angelo so far,
thanks to Ashon Crawley....

Clarity/reduction of messaging. The threat became realer to a lot of ignorant folks by naming β€œTylenol”

The thing I don't like about modern period dramas set in the 70s through the early 80s is that nobody is sweaty or hairy enough and everything is too clean and well maintained. Takes me out of the whole experience. Pure revisionism. Do better.

If I don’t have it right now, I’m not supposed to have it YET. And that’s ok. I’m still working on it just to show God that any day now, I’m ready for it.

Of course, intelligent and cultured. A stimulating conversationalist and critical thinker. A music/film/tv connoisseur. A foodie. Yeah.
