The true master of RVA R&B, D'Angelo, hasn't released an album since the incredible Voodoo came out 12 years ago (yes, it really has been that long), but it looks like our long wait might be over soon--according to ?uestlove of the Roots, he's putting the finishing touches on his follow-up, James River, which we can expect sometime in 2012. He's doing some dates in Europe this month, including a show last night in Stockholm, Sweden, at which he premiered two new songs. And we've got video footage of those songs for you right here:
"The Charade"
"Sugar Daddy"
Hopefully these tunes help you to start your weekend off right; I can tell you right now that I feel better than I have in days. Enjoy!
