CORRECTION – D’Angelo actually plays London next week. After a 10 year absence, which included quite a few controversies, very unflattering photos and a whole bunch of other stuff, our guy D’Angelo made a serious comeback in Stockholm Sweden last night and gave them a truly outstanding show. I know he’s playing in London tomorrow, where I know he’ll be accepted like a long-lost brother. It’s been 10 long years, with only two albums to keep us company. This is the man who paved the way for Raheem DeVaugh (love him!), because D’Angelo basically dropped off the face of the earth and the gap had to filled, which Mr. DeVaugh the R&B Rockstar filled very nicely indeed. The interesting thing now, is will D’Angelo be able to take the crown back which he held very briefly or will they share the spotlight together? So much time has passed and Raheem has come and taken the world by storm and become very successful in his own right. In my opinion, there’s room for everyone. Two very talented artists’ taking center stage, only time will tell.

OMG!!
I LOVED D’Angelo back in the day…the Brown Sugar album was genious!
There was an enourmous buzz around his London comeback show, he is playing at a small venue in Brixton and the tickets sold out very quickly….I was hesitant to purchase one though…just in case he just didn’t live up the the massive expecations I would have had. I am glad that his opening show was a success. I am sure he is wiser now!
