Classic Albums Reviewed - D’Angelo’s ”Black Messiah”

Yoooooo, we're in the Olas studio for the first time ever! In our first episode of this season, we talk about everything we loved about and struggled with on D'Angelo's Black Messiah. We talk about the comparisons to Parliament/Funkadelic, how uneducated we are in R&B and Funk music, the struggles of being a sex symbol, the perceived influence this album had on Awaken, My Love by Childish Gambino and To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar, how complex the songwriting is on Black Messiah, and how D'Angelo wrote and recorded nearly every bit of music on Black Messiah.
