In exciting news for fans of neo-soul, a posthumous album from the legendary D’Angelo is currently in the works, as confirmed by his longtime friend and collaborator, Questlove. During a recent interview with The National News Network, Questlove revealed that the unreleased music embodies “the sound of yesterday but for the future,” generating anticipation for what promises to be a remarkable addition to D’Angelo’s storied discography.
The announcement follows reports that D’Angelo was actively working on six new tracks prior to his untimely passing last month at the age of 51, with cancer cited as the cause of death. Renowned for his innovative contributions to music, D’Angelo’s influence continues to resonate deeply within the genre, and fans are hopeful that this album will showcase his unique artistry.
Questlove did not provide specific details regarding the release window or any potential guest collaborators on the album, but he expressed confidence that it would capture D’Angelo’s signature style. Earlier, in September 2024, fellow artist Raphael Saadiq mentioned on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast that D’Angelo was excited about his new music, indicating that he was in a positive creative space leading up to his death.
The posthumous project is sure to honor D’Angelo’s legacy and provide fans with new material to appreciate from one of the genre’s most influential figures. As anticipation builds, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this invaluable collection that promises to reflect D’Angelo’s profound artistry.
