Voodoo

I don't think her voice is bad.

I just, you know, the album has such amazing music that sometimes it seems like her voice is kinda lacking compared to the, the musicality on the tracks, you know? And, and, uh, apparently it drew a lot of comparisons to D'Angelo, Voodoo, which I don't know if you guys have heard that, but it's an amazing neo-soul album, and, like, he really brought the vocals on that.

I think Questlove played drums on it, too.

I'm gonna go 3.9.

...

D'Angelo records, Voodoo and Black Messiah.

And a, a huge creative force on, um, two of D'Angelo's three records.

Yeah.

Well, and speaking of sort of his, his openness to all kinds of music, we're gonna check in with him now in the year 2000.

This is from an album that we have talked [chuckles] about a lot on this show.

It's D'Angelo's Voodoo.

Yeah.

of all time.

So I'm going to go with D'Angelo, Voodoo, Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life.

I'm probably going to put, see, people might be mad at me for this one.

I'm going to put the Beatles, Aggie Road.

Alright, that's three.

I said Beatles, Abbey Road, Stevie Wonder's songs, and I said, what was the first one I said? DeAngelo Voodoo.

DeAngelo Voodoo.

I'm going to round that out with I'm going to round that out with I'm going to go ahead and put Midnight Marauders on there.

... for this album.

I mean, since Voodoo basically.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Four- what, 14 years.

... a sophisticated way.

I mean, normally those two things don't coexist, but I really feel like they do here.

It's, it's both an extension of Voodoo, and it has nothing to do with Voodoo, you know?

Yeah, and Peter, like all the great albums that we talk about on this show, they have to start with a banger.
