Yeah this is no different from the other "Frank is working on music" news we've gotten over the years I'll believe it when I hear it
If the quality of the releases are as good as the albums D'Angelo released, i'm more than happy with that.
I’d say Blonde was obviously very different from the music D’Angelo makes, but it’s easily one of my favorite R&B albums to this day
D’Angelo is a living legend who has made some of the most timeless music ever, regardless of genre and at times transcending the genre entirely. There’s no comparison lol. Blonde is solid but it’s meandering, bloated, and (IMO) overrated album that isn’t even Frank’s best from that year (both Endless and Channel Orange did more for me). But even comparing Frank’s best stuff to D’Angelo seems wild to me.
I'm not sure anyone is comparing the music. D'Angelo is on a different level to Frank. My comment was about what the quality of the music will be like if Frank takes his time like D'Angelo did.
Exactly, my comment was more around D'Angelo disappearing for years / decade + and then coming back out with a new project.
Yeah agreed. I also understand where the original comment was coming from and that they weren’t comparing the quality of the artists’ output to each other. But that being said, personally Frank is on a similar level at this point in terms of where I’d rank him in my favorite artists of all time. Both are amazing artists of course.
Yeah, if his directing timeline is anything like his album timeline, then David Jonsson is gonna be waiting a LONG time for his performance to be seen by the public lol
