I mean, not really. It's a fantastic album and was appreciated as such as soon as it came out. I very distinctly remember the buzz it received upon release because I'm a huge D'Angelo fan. Hell, it has near perfect critical reception and won a Grammy for best R&B record. That's far from underappreciated

Agreed, but it's because it took over 15 years to make. James River should have dropped a few years after Voodoo. He was going through it personally for a long time and couldn't pull the trigger due to his perfectionism. I'm just happy we got something.

I was a kid and a fan when D'Angelo dropped brown sugar. I never thought I would one day be involved with his recording sessions. I was fortunate enough to have been in the studio during the latter stages of this project. He is a great artist, It's a great album and this is one of its best tracks.

I did mushrooms by myself at the river one night and the following morning I was playing this album watching a pair of beavers swim up and down the river. When this song came on the lady beaver stopped on a rock and vibed out to it with me and she looked so visibly at peace and impressed that I was in awe😂 enjoying nature by onesself is really the greatest environment to play this album. 5 years later and I still think about that beaver's reaction to this song all the time

D'Angelo is my favorite R&B artist of all time, and Black Messiah is by far my favorite album of his. This song is phenomenal, thank you for the detailed breakdown of it. It's just one of those songs that you gotta put on and pay full attention to. It almost sounds simple, but upon analysis is so jazz-infused (in terms of the harmony) and actually quite complex (the ascending series of chords during the bridge of the song always give me goosebumps). By the way, the nylon-string/Spanish guitar used in this would typically be called a classical guitar. Not a common thing to hear in modern R&B and popular music. How he managed to make it sound and feel so natural here is just another testament to D'Angelo's brilliance. I really, really suggest that anyone who likes this breakdown listen to the entirety of the album. If you love tracks that have an amazing feeling between the bass and drums, you might enjoy Betray My Heart even more than this song (Pino in top form, and the crescendo towards the end of that songs is still likely my favorite D'Angelo moment on any album). Thanks again for all the work you do DTG!

Yes! One little extra thing is D'Angelo's rhodes doing the chords & bassline, which the bass was probably performed after. The bassline doesn't just wiggle, but has a wiggle-within-the-wiggle of the bass/rhodes stack, and the bass/rhodes tine sound mixed with the acoustic guitar really codifies the unique genre combo. D'angelo's Rhodes doing the riff also demonstrates that the bassline isn't just about the root notes, but is a full countermelody, almost like a Bach tune. Thanks for the Gina story information - Black Messiah is such a melancholic record, and knowing the story really integrates Really Love into the storyline and mood of the rest of the record. The musical complexities of the song echo the complexities of their relationship, and that sort of moodboard text-painting is something D'Angelo does so well.

Aloha from the island of Hawai'i to you Brother Brandon 🤙🏽 This breakdown of a beautiful song helped me realize I haven't listened to the Black Messiah album in a couple years, thank you for reminding me about it. From my heart and Soul I thank you for your videos! Music is up there with air and water for my survival, music is the most moving and touching thing to my soul next to my children and wife. Every video I've watched of yours has been an amazingly educational and fun experience. A lot of the knowledge and information you share in your videos I'm already aware of but the way you introduce the times, settings, scenarios and players in the stories is done so well that I feel like I'm hearing it all for the first time. Then you drop a whole bunch of knowledge and information that I wasn't aware of and I love learning more! Then to top it all off you break things down musically from theory, notes, structure and more and then show us visually and play for us audibly what is happening. Your use of turntables, samplers and the BASS to help us understand what's going on rounds the whole video out and makes it the total package. FOR REAL THOUGH... THANK YOU! Much love and respect for the time and energy you put into these videos! Aloha 🤙🏽✌🏽️

D'Angelo is one of the greatest musicians ever. Black Messiah is one of those albums I like to listen to with a good pair of headphones to pick up on all the layers. Apparently D'angelo had like 50 or more songs that didn't make the cut for this album too, his vault must be filled with incredible songs. You oughtta do an episode on There's a Riot Goin On by Sly and the Family Stone. It's very futuristic for its time and sounds timeless to this day. It was a huge influence on this album, and Voodoo, and I'm sure many other neo soul artists as well.

This is a great summary. A lot of people don’t seem to understand D’Angelo but you indeed do.

Brother DTG. This was masterful music history and my favorite episode of yours yet. Great story telling and such a revelation that touched my heart. The reason I have a connection to this is because I had a similar love story. 25 years ago I had one of the best loves of my life. Last year I wrote an article on Medium about our break up called Frozen in a place I hide. An Alice in chains lyric from the Brother (SAP EP) It was an article that felt like a poem/ song. Long story short my ex from many years ago read and commented on that article and gave my story validity and became a living part of the story and helped me to close that chapter. So this video reminds me of that. Thank you. P.o.p.

This album is a masterpiece. I know that word is used a lot. But this album shows the nature of the intangible mature groove that is a D’Angelo brand. It’s spiritual and intimate. An inside- outside sound, smooth and luxurious.💛🎶🔥
