{"product_id":"book-mxlg","title":"D'Angelo's Voodoo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e, D'Angelo's much-anticipated 2000 release, set the standard for the musical cycle ordained as \"neo-soul,\" a label the singer and songwriter would reject more than a decade later. The album is a product of heightened emotions and fused sensibilities; an amalgam of soul, rock, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and Afrobeats. D'Angelo put to music his own pleasures and insecurities as a man-child in the promised land. It was both a tribute to his musical heroes: Prince, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, J Dilla...and a deconstruction of rhythm and blues itself.\u003cbr\u003eDespite nearly universal acclaim, the sonic expansiveness of \u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e proved too nebulous for airplay on many radio stations, seeping outside the accepted lines of commercial R\u0026amp;B music. \u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D'Angelo's sweat-glistened six-pack abs. \"The Video\" created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Findaway World, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49794112651568,"sku":"BDmxlg","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/728980-mxlg-Square.jpg?v=1746866928","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-mxlg","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
