Voodoo, 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. Despite nearly universal
acclaim, the sonic expansiveness of Voodoo proved too nebulous for
airplay on many radio stations, seeping outside the accepted lines
of commercial R&B music. Voodoo 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.
