Richmond, Virginia, United States

D’Angelo (born Michael Eugene Archer on 11 February 1974 in Richmond, Virginia, United States) is a singer and keyboardist. He has released two albums, “Brown Sugar” (1995) and “Voodoo” (2000), with a third, “James River”, due for release in 2012.

D’Angelo signed a publishing deal with EMI Music in 1991 after catching the attention of record executives with a demo tape. He penned the hit song “U Will Know” on the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack. It was performed by Black Men United for the Jason’s Lyric motion picture soundtrack. Shortly after, he was signed by Gary Harris and he began recording his debut album for EMI records.

Brown Sugar was released in June 1995. Though sales were sluggish at first, the album was eventually a hit, due in large part to “Lady,” a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at #10. The album earned platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, following sales in excess of one million copies in the U.S., while its total sales have been estimated within the range of 1.5 million to over two million copies. The album helped give commercial visibility to the burgeoning neo soul movement of the 1990s, along with debut albums by Maxwell, Erykah Badu, and Lauryn Hill. The album was a critical success as well, and appeared on many critics’ “best of” lists for the year.

Following his debut album’s success, D’Angelo went into a four and a half year absence from the music scene and releasing solo work.

    Thoughts? Excited and relieved that something is really happening, and I hope it stays this way for some looong time. The new tracks have some amazing potential, can't wait to hear the mastered version of Sugar Daddy. I like the new band a lot, but I gotta say, I miss the soultronics with quest, spanky (RIP), jacques, and their unique sounding horns. Anyways, glad to have him back!

    May be the real reason; may be bullsh*t... There are strong rumors that he's in one of Amsterdam's 'coffeeshops'...

    BREAKING NEWS: Tonight's D'Angelo show at the Amsterdam Paradiso has just been called off, less than 45 minutes prior to showtime. The reason is an ankle injury he sustained in Paris yesterday evening. Reportedly, he wanted to perform, but an Amsterdam doctor told him he should take rest. Which is a pretty weird story. Paradiso just announced that the Monday 31 January show has been made three days later: it has been postponed to Thursday 02 February. The Tuesday 31 January show is still on, reportedly.

    His current sound reminds me quite a bit of...like..Electric Spanking of War Babies Era Funkadelic or Parade Style Prince.
