Do you think it’s fair to call Voodoo a neo-soul album? Its lead single 'Untitled (How Does It Feel)', entered the R&B charts and won a Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal likewise, Voodoo won Best R&B Album.
D'Angelo originally wanted to release Black Messiah in 2015, but the controversial decisions in the Ferguson and Eric Garner cases inspired him to release it earlier. This album, a follow up to the amazing debut album 'Brown Sugar', had big footsteps to follow in.and this album held its own.

Meanwhile, his music family also started to grow: D�Angelo began working more closely with musicians like Roots drummer Questlove, keyboardist James Poyser, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, and hip-hop beatsmith J Dilla. But Voodoo�s prospects changed when its third single�and the accompanying iconic video�came out a few weeks later.
