Roommates, 20 years ago today, R&B legend DAngelo dropped his second album Voodoo on us…and it fulfilled every expectation and definitely didnt disappoint fans.
Led by the extremely popular and extremely sexy single (and video that had all the ladies ready to risk it all) Untitled (How Does It Feel) -which is also one of the most iconic videos ever by a male R&B artist, DAngelo was completely in his bag.
Voodoo was the follow-up to DAngelos 1995 multi-platinum debut album Brown Sugar and many of his fans consider it the album that defined his career. As soon the album was released on January 25, 2000, it quickly landed on every music critics favorites list and hailed as one of the best albums of the year, even though it dropped at the very start of it.
The singles from DAngelos Voodoo included Devils Pie, (which was previously heard in the 1998 film Belly) Left & Right (featuring Redman and Method Man,) the smooth ballad Send It On and the albums biggest hit and iconic video, Untitled (How Does It Feel.) We dont even have to get into why the video was so iconic because we all remember DAngelo all oiled up and looking like a complete snack all throughout.
By the time the 2001 Grammys came around, DAngelo was nominated for several awards and won the Grammy for Best R&B Album, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song, both for Untitled (How Does It Feel.) Voodoo has been named as one of the greatest R&B albums of all-time and one of the standouts of the neo-soul era.
The entire album is a classic, but on its 20th anniversary, we wanna know what tracks were your faves? What are your memories of the album? Did you need a time out after watching the Untitled video?
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
