D’Angelo has long toyed with our emotions, promising for years that we would get a follow-up to 2000’s Voodoo. Now the perfectionist is finally set to unveil his next album, Black Messiah, later this week (which will probably screw up everyone’s “Best of 2014” lists). Last night, he released the album’s first single, “Sugah Daddy,” which is funky and layered and smooth. It’s been too long, D’Angelo, but it sounds like the wait was worth it.
