Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during legendary, free-form jam sessions at Electric Lady Studios with members of the Soulquarians collective, D'Angelo's 'Voodoo' largely abandons conventional song structure for a loose, groove-based funk sound defined by a distinct, behind-the-beat rhythmic feel. The album’s dense and atmospheric production, primarily handled by D'Angelo, supports lyrical explorations of spirituality, love, and fatherhood, ultimately securing its place as a creative milestone that redefined the boundaries of neo-soul.
