Album Club: D'Angelo, Voodoo (2000)

This time, we're diving into something raw, sensual, and soul-deep: D’Angelo’s Voodoo, the 28th greatest album of all time.

Voodoo is one of those albums that changes the temperature in the room. It’s slow, smoky, spiritual, and intensely human. And since we are on a quest to discover universal human truths in the Top 100, this feels like a portal.

I'm coming into this one as a newbie, so in case you are new to D'Angelo too, here's how Rolling Stone describes this album: "Voodoo places Pink Floyd-style cosmic jams next to Prince-inspired erotica."

Well, when you put it that way, sign me up!

We'll cover:

• What makes Voodoo feel timeless, even today
• How D’Angelo uses rhythm, silence, and vulnerability
• The album as a spiritual, sensual, and political act
• Your personal reactions: what surprised you, what stuck, what stirred

Whether Voodoo has lived in your headphones for decades or you're just now pressing play, spend some time with this album and join me to find out what kind of conversation it inspires. I'll be learning right alongside you.

Peace ❤️
