D'angelo is BACK!! Listen to the new song called "Really Love" where he talks about, um, really love, yeah! Its new!! D' is BACK!! It's been a while but I think we can all agree it has been worth the wait.

Eff dat I love that mumble magic, sounded like music to my ears when I heard it. Leave it to D'angelo: The only dude that can mumble on a track and make that shit sound fluently funky.
James Brown had his cityfied country jibberjabber fast talk slang D'angelo got his magic mumbles.

sorta sounds like him and of course this demo can be just that, a demo sketch that is simply an idea.
i personally think its a shame that there is all this hype around it like its really some ill shit. the music is cool and I love (really) Voodoo and Brown Sugar. I would love to have new music from D' to bump this summer. I'll wait for the real shit to drop.
8. "pffft, its easy to sound like that whe you aint saying nothin" In response to Reply # 7
you ever heard some of ?uest's impressions. im just saying, despite the music being cool and us all wanting to hear D, this track is DOO DOO. It might turn into something cool but right now, it aint shit.
10. "i cant disagree, but it wouldnt be a very good impression if it didnt so..." In response to Reply # 9
D is distinct, so it makes it easier for someone to impersonate. If you asked me to put 100$ down I would say it is D. I am just being devil's advocate while pointing out that it is April, ?uesto is known to play April fools, he did water mark the song saying it was his exclusive while also saying that you didnt get it from him (which is funny in itself), and the vocals can barely be discerned. I mean, how bad would ?uesto have gotten all of us if this was April fools.
At the end of the day, I stand by my opinion that this track is nothing to get excited over simply for the lyrical weirdness. Yes, D can be tough to understand and that's part of his freshness, but let's be serious.
12. "for you "this track is nothing to get excited over simply for the lyrica..." In response to Reply # 10
I on the other hand base me like and dislike of music on feel and sound and barely pay attention to lyrics. I wish lyrics meant more to me, but they just dont. I'd rather have someone speak nonsense and make it sound great (see Sigur Ros' () album), than have someone sing the answers to the meaning of life in a manner that was bland. Don't get me wrong, to have both great feel/sound and great lyrics is great, but for me this was more about the sound of it.
Another thing that makes me think this is legit and not a joke is the guitar. Russ Elevado said that the new D stuff focuses more on writing with the guitar. *shrugs*
But alas, this is indeed a post about lyrics, so I'll respect that and move on.
its a rough i got a gazillion joints and this is how they start. the idea is dope the arrangement is dope his harmony ideas are dope you just have to imagine the idea of this.

if it is a joke, it would be the greatest april fool joke yet here (been a undercover watching of this board for a min). Regardless, even with not knowing what the hell he is saying, it's some good music

Maybe, just maybe, we were listening to an incomplete song and we couldn't understand him because there weren't any lyrics yet. I know a lot songwriters, myself included, that write the melody before the actual words. So he could've just been tracking himself to get the melody down before he went back and wrote lyrics.

As for OKPDAN , Are you just trying to get the people talking or you just missed the obvious ? This is not an official song , and it was never intended to be released in its present form !!! IMHO , just an old session that ?uest threw out there ( only ?uest knows why !!!)
16. "i stated that earlier in this post that this is cleary just a demo" In response to Reply # 14 Wed Apr-18-07 03:52 PM by okpdan
and that D may have been laying reference melodies (reply #6). I've been at this for a long time, I'm no dummy. Maybe ?uest for some reason thought he was safe in Australia as far as this track getting widespread but when you are talking about an artist who's next work is one of the most anticipated in music, this is the "song" you are going to leak out? this is how the return of D is going to be represented?
no shit its a demo, no shit is rough, no shit its not done. that's the case, why is it getting blasted all over the internet as the NEW D'angelo, whom we have not heard from in years outside of a few minor collabs.
also, i am playing devil's advocate saying it could potentially be a joke. i have yet to see anything factual about this demo other than that ?uest played it on the radio in Australia while noting that ?uest loves his April Fools pranks. I've never seen a rule that says April Fools has to go down on April 1st. Chances are, my April Fools theory is totally WRONG. I'm just saying, shit seems like a joke to me. ha
Didn't ?uest mention something about the Al Green sessions going this way, where they'd sketch out an idea with rough vocals that had no, or very few words. I wasn't creaming my pants about this, but it was cool to hear the track. I'm always interested in the process of getting to the final product.
I can't see ?uestlove pulling an April Fools joke, long after April Fools day, on an Australian radio show, and then telling us all to keep quiet about it.
19. "I believe its referred to as "debonics"" In response to Reply # 17
I think ?uest has D's blessing to leak this. He's been tryna convince D that his shit is dope even tho D himself doesn't thnk it. Maybe ?uest wanted to show D the reaction a leaked demo could produce

dang I wish I could be this hot to be able to leak half-done songs and put the internet in a frenzy
the melody is catchy, but I'm not reading too much into this - until there's a new album in stores, I'll take this w/ a grain of salt (or a drop of chicken grease)

Ok so let's get one thing straight, is this going to be D's first single for his upcoming album or not?
I take it that it's (the song) was not in it's final stages on the joint we've all heard so far, but are they planning on releasing this as D's first single?
james poyser confirmed. questo been all over the map. look, i never said it wasnt. i was making a couple of points, mostly about the fact that people we're really bugging out to this demo when to me, if you are really wanting to hear D, i mean, don't you really want to hear D? i like the way it sounds, always did. i just found it odd that it was the NEW exclusive D'angelo all over the web. James also noted that it was years old.
lastly, if i had been right about the april fools thing, i would have been the only one who called it! so i took a chance and put it out there, lol.
yeah dan, i'm with you on this one. my friend was like, yeah man, its good, and i put it on and am like... okp is going wild for this? call me when dude is making sense, which will most likely be never.

It's not revolutionary or anything, but it sounds good to my ears. Don't y'all remember our main man Black Thought making mumbling sound hot on "Don't Say Nothin'"? I don't care if this is "new" D material or not, I just want another album cot dammit!

Yo i'm a huge huge fan of D'angelo, however whether it is him or not to a person who doesnt know d'angelo's music or this kind of music it a great song in this day's climate so let us all enjoy it as genius level music is very hard to find these days!!!

dude gets an unfair rap on the mumbling. i mean, look at james brown. black music has always allowed for creativity in vocal phrasing that allowed for less than crystal clear enunciation. ___
is it just me or does it seem like quest playing a trick on us...does it seem to anybody else that quest just bascially looped like 32 bars of the song and then threw a part of the verse on at the end to give it a more finished structure? i think i remember him doing something similar when folks were trying to download electric circus.
