D'Angelo Plots Prince Collab, Spring Tour
D'Angelo
January 20, 2009 10:39 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
D'Angelo is expected to collaborate with Prince on his long-awaited first new album since 2000, reportedly titled "James River" and due this summer from J Records.
In a statement, the R&B star's manager, Lindsay Guion, says D'Angelo will also team with Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo Green. Collaborations with Raphael Saadiq, Mark Ronson and Roy Hargrove are already in the bag,
In addition, D'Angelo will play his first shows in years this summer, beginning in Europe and then taking in the United States. Cities and dates have yet to be announced.
In recent years, D'Angelo has endured a serious car accident and drug-related arrests, and in lieu of new music of his own, he's made sporadic guest appearances on albums by Common, Snoop Dogg, Q-Tip and J Dilla.
"He's able to smile again and he's ready to connect ," Guion told Billboard last summer. "He's coming back. And he looks great, by the way."

theres 1% chance to hear d'angelo with the artist on the same track. But who knows...i think it's more a statement from d'angelo camp to make a buzz (which works hehe)
is it the first time Mark Ronson is mentionned or what?

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I will believe this when I see it. I have been waiting on D's new material for years and I really my fellow Aquarian will show and prove this year.
"C'mon D and sing the song, yeah..."
