D’Angelo Covers ‘Black Hole Sun’ By Soundgarden (AUDIO)

D'Angelo Covers 'Black Hole Sun' By Soundgarden (AUDIO)

First Posted: 1/4/12 09:21 AM ET Updated: 1/4/12 09:21 AM ET HUFFINGTON POST

Fans of neo-soul singer D’Angelo hoping for a followup to the excellent and nearly 12-year-oldVoodoo are apparently in luck. In an interview with Pitchfork, longtime D’Angelo collaborator ?uestlove promised a new album that’s “97% done,” and, “at best…in the Smile/There’s a Riot Goin’ On/Miles Davis‘ On the Corner category.” Which is, you know, a pretty good category! For now, we’ve posted a new D’Angelo track — a cover of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” — that ?uestlovetweeted is actually 8 years old and not meant for the album. But new to us! And pretty ingenious. Check it out below.

YOU’RE INVITED! NEW YEAR’S EVE @ POPPY LOVE SMOKE (12/31 – 8PM) Jax, FL

THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE 8pm!!! BLACK THOUGHT EROTICA at Poppy Love Smoke. Phunky Azz LIVE music by JOY DENNIS & PLEASANT PHUNK + DJ Elliot Ileftmywalletinelsegundo Carter.

Sponsored by & Featuring

Hairmagination + Michele Pierre + All About Quality Events & Catering + Pure Romance by Teazha + Body Massages by Deven Mcphaul + Zumba Fitness with Kristen Fleming and more!!

Breakfast served!

It’s been nearly a year since we’ve rocked the walls of Poppy Love Smoke. So, it’s only fitting that we kick-off 2012 in the one spot in town where we use to let our hair down, kick our shoes off, and hang out all night with Joy Dennis, her band PLEASANT PHUNK and everyone who touched the stage.

This New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2011 join us as we bring in the new year at our favorite hotspot, the NEWLY EXPANDED- Poppy Love Smoke. (Downtown Jacksonville)

We promise to resurrect all of the best elements from the old Black Thought Sundays, which, might I add is now called ” Black Thought Live” and we will be at Poppy’s every 4th Saturday of the month. (Yes, I said Saturday!)

This New Year’s Eve though, we decided to get a little naughty with it. I hope you don’t mind.

*with my serious face* The theme for this New Year’s Eve Party is EROTICA.
So as always we are going to give you a lot of soulfully live music (+ DJ), tantalizing visuals, tasty aphrodisiacs, a specialty drink called “Good Lovin’” and when the morning comes we’ll even serve you breakfast. *devilish grin*

With all of that said, if you remember our house rules, it’s time for ROLL CALL!

Feel free to invite any and everyone you wish to bring the new year in with.
I can’t wait to party with you. I’ll see you on the 31st!

Latest iTunes Customer Reviews “Music Is”

Latest iTunes Customer Reviews

Don

by Are MellowI have never seen her perform in person, but after hearing this album I will certainly be planning a trip to Jacksonville Florida to see her on stage. This album is “a breath of fresh air”. Smooth, sharp, simple, and complicated all in one. A great album is an understatement….. I’m waiting for the next single, album, feature or whatever… 3 Thumbs up

Why did I have to stumble across this??

by CTII

This album is so good, I should’ve been seeing this artist accepting multiple awards at the Grammys! Instead, I accidentally stumble across her album because of her single is at the end of a list of “Listeners Also Bought”!?! Now, I do have to have to admit, I could’ve done without the explicit lyrics (especially the use of the “N” word). But, then I also have to admit that those explicit songs were great too! I haven’t heard an album in the mainstream this good in more than a decade!! What has happened to music that I have to find music this good by accident?? I didn’t mind some mindless Pop songs when I was growing up, but, can’t the radio play some real R&B like this every now and then. That’s not too much to ask is it?

On to the album itself. The 1st song “Music Is” was good, but, didn’t quite capture me. It felt a little formulaic to me. Not a bad song, just not the greatest. But, this all changed the minute I hit the second song. One of the 1st singles Joy released from this album is “He Awaits”. That was definitely the right single to release. It’s just infectious! I had to stop listening to the preview long enough to download it! The next song “Good Lovin’” kept the great songs coming!! I could definitely do without all the preludes on the album. I wish they would’ve been included as extras instead of breaking up the excellent songs. “Endless Love” and “Dear John” are also my favorites on this album. But, really, only “Juk Joint” was a song I could call “OK”! The album is that good! I don’t like explicit lyrics in music, but, “Electric Chair” was so good I’ll have to admit I couldn’t help jammin’ to it!

Albums such as these don’t come along every day. I hope Joy releases more music in the future. She has a very bright future ahead of her. Let’s hope the radio stations realize it sooner than later as well!

Love Joy

by CRNA2BE

I have seen Joy perform on many occaisions and she is phenomenal. Yesterday at the funk fest was another great performance. Her voice is powerful and magnificent. Love the new CD.
