who expects a new D'Angelo song to be HOT10whatever.5? do you? i'm pretty sure that isn't his target audience.

>Sad to say but he is an old dude making "mature" music

i'm not seeing the problem here.

>anymore.
>He will get sales based on his past and fan base

what's wrong with that?

>Also sales from the "train wreck" watchers

i doubt that "train wreck" watchers will BUY anything. i don't really see his issues being that great to even deserve that kind of label. i don't think he's turned anyone off by his antics...it's not like he hit Britney Spears levels of wildness where people are thinking that he's gonna die soon.

>audiences

oh no, a sell out tour!! probably definitely!!! the horror!!

>indeed a bad dude

if he's setting out to "rescue" R&B then he's going to disappoint himself. all he needs to do is stay in his lane and make music that he's comfortable with.
