Amazon.com's Best of 2000

Like Robin Hood working on a tip from Chuck D, D'Angelo has stolen back the soul that was missing from the just-add-water R&B scene. Voodoo is a simmering cauldron of sound, a magical collection. Stained with sweat, longing, and rage, this is an album with trouble on the brain. But it also includes sacred sweet nothings and rapturous raw rhythms to get you through the night. --Lizz Mendez Berry

Amazon.com

Halfway through the languid midtempo ballad "Send It On" from D'Angelo's new sophomore effort, Voodoo, the young retro-soul maestro and band shift tempo and melody. It's a move so understatedly dramatic that it elicits comparisons not just to obvious touchstones Marvin Gaye and Al Green, but to the Jimi Hendrix of Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. While Voodoo is hardly in a league with such major statements, it's a record inviting enough to attract repeated plays of its 78-minute length. As on his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, D'Angelo covers a wide range of concerns--sex, home cooking, the destructive side of current street life--in a deceptively offhand manner. But he's a crafty craftsman: even a throwaway workout like "Chicken Grease" is blessed not only with a slinky groove and a guitar lick that deserves to be called just that, but bursts of Gaye-style vocal harmonies; the whole track, for all its retro flavor, ends up sounding like nothing else around. Throw in the blasts of anger that fire "Devil's Pie," the restatement of Bono's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" in "Greatdayindamornin'," and the complete takeover of Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love," and Voodoo proves one jam that was well worth the nearly five-year wait. --Rickey Wright

2 out of 5 stars Monotone .......2007-08-04

This CD is by no means horrible but it's by no means great either. Though I do love the song Devil's Pie, I must say that this album failed to hold my interest. Outside of that track, his lyrics are almost impossible to make out and the songs all begin to sound the same. The melody's are your typical neo-soul sharp notes and the beats are really predictable. Normally, I LOVE slow songs but they have to have an intersting/pretty melody to them.
I suggest you listen to the samples before purchasing. I hope this album grows on me.

5 out of 5 stars D'Angelo-Voodoo.......2007-06-07

Timeless! That is the perfect way to describe this album is timeless. It never gets old. Voodoo is one of those albums that you can listen to it over and over and you will hear something you did not here the first time. For the most part he stays on the same type of style Brown Sugar had, just a little more modern to fit with the time. And speeking of time he made his fans wait long enough for this masterpiece coming just shy of five years in between Voodoo and his debut. And now he is going on eight years for his follow up to Voodoo and there is still very little mateiral coming to light for the set entitled James River which is suppose to be due out in late 07 early 08. The anticipation is killing me as well as thousands of other i am sure. But with Voodoo being the masterpiece it is, i will say it just pushes Brown Sugar out of the way as far as which one is better. I mean you still have that mellow laid back style, but with a few more "Groove" tracks. Like the mid tempo banger "Left & Right" which is one of the many highlight on this album. Another being the super soulful "The Line" which is possibly the best song only behind "The Root". The great thing about "The Root" is the guitar in the background just sounds so mellow, and his vocals are so quiet that you would swear he was whispering. Beware though, dont listen to this album in the dark, because this album has smokiness to it that is almost eeiry in a good way, but it can play tricks on you if listen in the dark. But he still is unmatched for his vocals, and yet again if you are thinking about buying this, keep in mind D is far from the poppy radio R&B, because you wont get any of that here. But this is definetly one of the best albums of all time, and i cant wait for James River, definetly buy Voodoo.

5 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-05-05

i don't listen to a lot of r&b. i really have no idea who are the hot or popular artists singing r&b currently and i don't care that much. that being said, this cd is my favorite of all time. i bought it the first day it came out in 2000 and haven't stopped listening to it since then. it's that good.
it's definitely r&b but has a deeper affinity with soul. there are also jazz and blues elements. and this may sound trite but it is far different than anything else out there. there are a few other neosoul artists that i like -- erykah badu and raphael saadiq in particular -- but none of them are nearly as talented or innovative as d'angelo.
this cd is a lot different than brown sugar with its smooth and jazzy polish. voodoo is funky and raw. this cd showcases some of the most innovative black musicians out there today -- roy hargrove provides horns on several tracks with ?uestlove on the drumset. and all that talent gelled really well.
it's been over 7 years since voodoo came out and i really hope that d'angelo can get himself together enough to put out another album.

5 out of 5 stars Four Years After the Fact, I Finally Get It!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-03

I hate to admit it but when "Voodoo" was first released, I was straight up pissed. I thought it was ok, but it wasn't want I wanted to hear. I think many of us have that problem. (If it's not what WE want it to sound like, then it's not good, or they're slippin'.)

But let's be real. (This goes out to the negative reviewers.) I have to be honest, I was looking for another "Brown Sugar Volume 2", PERIOD. That was my mistake. So I put it away for about four years. I was talking to one of my boys about that project and how I thought it was just okay. He told me to pull it back out. DAMN!!!!!! This project is so hot.......... Now I appreciate this music for what it is. (Innovative, original, funky, soulful and creative.)

But what's really stupid is that if he stuck to the same formula that was successful, these same folk that are complaining now would criticize him for repeating himself and not doing anything new. Isn't this why we listen to artist like D'angelo, Badu and Jill Scott, because they're different? So I got to apologize to D for not gettin' it at first.

I dare anyone to pull this cd back out. It's hotter than anything out there right now.

4 out of 5 stars smooth sounds.......2007-03-14

he started this whole"neo-soul"thing that alicia keys is getting paid off
of.anybody into john legend should pick up this and his first album "brown sugar".the only negative is his enunciation while singing.without the insert of the cd,you would never understand what the hell he is saying!it's actually more 3 1/2 stars than 4 but way better than any of this psuedo rb garbage that is out presently.

5 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the best soul album of the past two decades..........2005-09-01

With Voodoo, D'angelo has revolutionized the soul genre. Each steamy, spacey track is so overflowing with passionate honesty, listening is truly a transcending experience. Anyone who has any interest whatsoever in soul, r&b, or jazz, must, absolutely must own this album. A beautiful masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-09-21

when i bought this album i first listened to devil's pie and how does it feel then when i listened to the whole album i screamed.i mean d'angelo has always been a favorite but he never made me scream like that.you may think i'm over-reacting but you buy it yourself and find out if i'm right.

5 out of 5 stars VOODOO(EDITED).......2000-08-05

I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THE CD BECAUSE OF (2) SONGS ON THE CD.HOW DOES IT FEEL AND SEND IT ON.AFTER LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE CD I REALIZED I GOT MORE FOR MY MONEY.THE MUSIC IS SOFT AND SENSOUS.I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY IT.

5 out of 5 stars warm and beautiful soul music for everybody.......2000-02-02

D'angelo did it again. He blessed us with another beautiful album that is worthy to be praised to the highest degree. To hear music that has nothing to do with the same old r&b songs is wonderful. This is truly soul and r&b at its best.

This must is my 3rd or 4th purchase! I've either had to attempt to borrow it back or it's been stolen! A must have. This one will not get away from me!

And If you like this you will also enjoy "Skin" Ephraim Lewis.

5 out of 5 stars Worn out the original.......2005-08-21

I'm just about to replace this as I've damaged my original.
One of my favourite records. First heard this back in the early 90's and I still play it. Timeless piece of music with gorgeous vocals.I' would be proud to write this.
Where are they?

5 out of 5 stars MELLOW MUSIC.......2000-11-22

This is actually one of the first recordings I purchased on Compact Disc. The songs are definitely for the times you are chilling at home alone or with your mate. The songs Yo Yo, Inside This Love, Don't Change Your Love, and Circle On You are my favorites.

4 out of 5 stars this cd combines lush strings, heavy bass and a great voice.......1999-11-18

all i can say is that this one of those must have cd's. with songs like circle on you and voodoo soul, you can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Soft lust.......1999-08-22

This is the kind of CD you can put on when the two of you are sharing a quiet evening reading at opposite ends of the couch... and you'd rather you weren't reading, or at opposite ends! Potent.

        4 out of 5 stars Progressive Trance.......2005-09-14

        What we have here is a single from Urban Voodoo. A lot of folks may remember this artist from the Mortal Kombat Annhilation soundtrack with their catchy track, Brutality. They also had a album that same year. Their music was along the lines of indsutrial rock with some hip hop thrown in at times. All in all, it was good music. So what happened? Beats me. They dissapeared for about 5 years and re-surfaced with this CD single in 2002. Don't be fooled by the same ol Urban Voodoo logo... This music is nothing like the 1997 band you remember. This is progressive trance. Music made for clubs. There is no singing, but there is a deep voiced fellow throwing out some words. Do I like this new Urban Voodoo music? Yes. Did I like the old style better? Yep. Is it impossible to find information on this artist online? Definitley.

        If you like what you hear on this single, the "new" Urban Voodoo has several other singles out in this style. However they are on vinyl only. Destiny and Fly With Me are the only I know of. As for their 1997 music, good luck finding the album.

        5 out of 5 stars "Brutality" wasn't enough!.......2003-02-15

        Urban Voodo unleashes hypnotizing, head-bangin' songs like "Brutality" on tha "MKA" soundtrack. Their ability continues w/ "Humanity" into choatic rhytymz.

        Well I finally got this bad boy. I've wanted it for about 8 years now. Never could find it in stores, never could find it online! This was a short lived CD to say the least. But there is some unique talent on here. The lyrics are something really different. Their informative yet weird at the same time. If you liked Brutality then you'll most likely dig the rest of this album. Why these guys called it quits i'll never know. There is some great music on here that sadly will go unheard by most of the population. Urban Voodoo still exists, but the project has been turned into a progressive trance outing.

        5 out of 5 stars Finally..........2003-08-19

        Well I've wanted this album for about 6 years and I finally got it. Ever since I heard Brutality on the Mortal Kombat Annihilation Soundtrack I've tried to find this album online. I once tried to buy it from the manufacturer in Germany, but they charged my card and then gave the money back. I never got the CD.

        Anyway, I've listened to the whole CD now and I must say it is a masterpiece. Well worth buying. If you've heard and enjoyed Brutality or any of their other songs, this album is for you.

        5 out of 5 stars TOTALLY AWESOME.......1999-02-06

        I bought this CD after hearing BRUTALITY on the Mk3 soundtrack. It was awesome but the songs WUNDERKIND and PILL BOX are even better. This CD is one the best purchases i've ever made
