Voodoo - D'Angelo

Released in 2000, 'Voodoo' is the definitive neo-soul album. D'Angelo moved away from the polished production of his debut to embrace a raw, loose, and heavily syncopated sound inspired by Sly Stone and Prince. The album is famous for its 'behind the beat' drumming and thick, analog textures that feel like a late-night jam session. It is a masterclass in groove and atmosphere, proving that R&B could be both intellectually stimulating and deeply sensual.

It remains a primary reference point for modern producers and vocalists alike.
