20yrs - a tribute.

[Thompsonuxb]

D'Angelo' Brown Sugar turns 20 this year.....unbelievable!

The most underrated album of all time. It still sounds as good today as the first time I heard it - the production on it is spot on .

Anyone with a half decent set, you owe it to yourself to own a copy even if normally you don't touch this type of music.

To D'Angelo's 'Brown Sugar' ...... *drinks*

[Covenanter]

I'd never heard of this so I had a listen. Taste is something that can't be debated but I won't be buying this.

Chris

Why? The lyrics are so.... passionate (for lack of a better word).

Let me tell you 'bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy

The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin'
Won't you listen?

Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave

I want some of your Brown Sugar, ooh ooh

 

[Andrewjvt]

Im not falling for that

Last time you recommended a tune on youtube (the one to test bass lines on a system)

I almost puked lol

 

[Freddy58]

Er, who?

Chris

Had a listen!?....

Listen to:

'Me an those dreamin eyes of mine.'

'Smooth'

Cruisin (cover of Smokey's classic..... Owned!)

Actually let the album role after 'Smooth' track 6........

Andrew I'm shocked.....

Just go through the album....you'll see.

 

[Andrewjvt]

Ok ill give it a go lol
I will report back

 

[Vladimir]

Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass
I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad
But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen
Just like I do in all my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.

And I thought Prince was oversaturated with begging for sex. If I had a black girlfriend D'Angelo is probably something I would listen to. Maybe.

You miss the point off music.....

Listen to the tune - don't critic, judge, label just listen.

For what it's worth you don't need a black girlfriend - white women, Asian women actually any woman can appreciate these lyrics - works alot better when it's put to the music and better still if your set can deliver.

 

[Thompsonuxb]

Er, who?

Missed this one.....

Exactly Freddy!

Its criminal this album did not get the airplay it deserved.

It genuinely set a new standard and is more influential than any album from that time.

Go through the tracks and listen.

 

[Al ears]

And then go and buy 'Black Messiah'.

Yeah. But it has that East Coast style, makes me want some Brown Sugar too (like Danai Gurira) damn it.

Ever had a pasty white ex from Finland that listened to black metal all day and consiedered it sublime poetry? If you played her some neo soul the CD case will appear on your colonoscopy.

I could only manage 3 tracks, really not my thing, sorry. I think Vlad summed it up pretty well, in post #10

I'm sorry but it does nothing for me. Different strokes for different folks!

[Thompsonuxb]

Small wonder you guys come across as so angry all the time....

Program tracks 1,2,4,6,7,8,9 &10 in your player while you''re vacuuming, washing the dishes, ironing your work clothes or doing your timesheets...

Let the thing wash over you - then later consider the harmonies, the flow, the composition and detail of the music - it's a beautiful thing, a young man's view on love, life and possibilities before bitterness and resentment takes over....

 

[Freddy58]

I'll say this for you, you're certainly resilient *biggrin*

I won't slip into relationship guidance counseling but with a chi....girlfriend or is it partner?..... Anyway, like that I'd play this to her while she's sleeping - she would wake up a better person.

Freddy which 3 tracks was it?

I'll say this I too thought this album was a little wishy washy all those years ago but time genuinely open my ears to the work of genius this album is.

Fact he does all the vocals on the track all the harmonies - played all the instruments on most tracks and arranged all the music......

It's one of those things, I wished I'd written it......

Thousands of euros of therapy failed vs D'Angelo sleep torture. Hmmm...

I didn't pay for her therapy. I just suffered the results. And now I'm angry about hi-fi. So angry...

I will probably dislike it just as much as I did 20 years ago.

There's a saying in Dutch: "over smaak valt niet te twisten".
