Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0724384849924 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Virgin Records Us Manufacturer: Virgin Records Us MPN: 48499 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Virgin Records Us Release Date: January 25, 2000 Studio: Virgin Records Us Editorial Review: Amazon.com's Best of 2000: Like Robin Hood working on a tip from Chuck D, D'Angelo has stolen back the soul that was missing from the just-add-water R&B scene. Voodoo is a simmering cauldron of sound, a magical collection. Stained with sweat, longing, and rage, this is an album with trouble on the brain. But it also includes sacred sweet nothings and rapturous raw rhythms to get you through the night. --Lizz Mendez Berry Amazon.com: Halfway through the languid midtempo ballad "Send It On" from D'Angelo's new sophomore effort, Voodoo, the young retro-soul maestro and band shift tempo and melody. It's a move so understatedly dramatic that it elicits comparisons not just to obvious touchstones Marvin Gaye and Al Green, but to the Jimi Hendrix of Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. While Voodoo is hardly in a league with such major statements, it's a record inviting enough to attract repeated plays of its 78-minute length. As on his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, D'Angelo covers a wide range of concerns--sex, home cooking, the destructive side of current street life--in a deceptively offhand manner. But he's a crafty craftsman: even a throwaway workout like "Chicken Grease" is blessed not only with a slinky groove and a guitar lick that deserves to be called just that, but bursts of Gaye-style vocal harmonies; the whole track, for all its retro flavor, ends up sounding like nothing else around. Throw in the blasts of anger that fire "Devil's Pie," the restatement of Bono's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" in "Greatdayindamornin'," and the complete takeover of Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love," and Voodoo proves one jam that was well worth the nearly five-year wait. --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - how does it feel????this was a great follow up to brown sugar. i don't really have any favorites on this one. the whole cd is good to me. but i enjoy listening to How Does it Feel and just thinking about the video that he did to it.

It did take a little bit longer than mentioned as far as standard delivery. I've had this CD before so I knew what I was getting and of course I am very pleased with the product. Rating: - Masterpiece This is J-RE...I don't need to explain who I am. Read my review on Brown Suga. Anyways, I haven't read the other reviews nor do I care. This album is a Masterpiece. First album was a classic , Second album a masterpiece (and classic). D'angelo took this to another level. Im writing this review 7 years later and this CD still sounds fresh. He took it deeper on this album. More Grit, More Dirt. I felt like on this album D was like "I don't give a F***!" And that's what the fans want to hear. He definately ... Read More |
