D'Angelo Quotes

D'Angelo

I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know?

I've always kind of tried to do something that was a little different than just simple 'I love you, baby'-type songs.

D'Angelo

I think shortly after I got signed, it just started to dawn on me that I had something to say and that Yahweh put something in my heart to share with the world.

D'Angelo

You have to know the forces that are against you and that are trying to break you down. We talk about the problems facing the black community: the decimation of the black family; the mass incarceration of the black man; we're talking about the brutality against black people from the police. The educational system.

D'Angelo

I grew up teaching parts to choirs, and I love a whole group of voices singing as one.

D'Angelo

When I was young, I had an 'aha' moment in church. There was a thing called testimony service, and somebody would sing a song, and everyone else would join in, finding a note where they fit. During one of those, a light went on in my head. In that moment, I heard everything – Parliament, the Staple Singers, Curtis Mayfield, Prince – in there.

D'Angelo

Prince, you never knew what to expect from him from one album to the next. Miles Davis was like that. You know, once you get used to one style, boom, he switched it and, you know, switched gears on you. So those artists are very exciting to me, very exciting to follow their path, you know, and their journey.

D'Angelo

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen. It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them… 'Black Messiah' is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.

D'Angelo

Just about the entirety of the first album, 'Brown Sugar,' I wrote it, the majority of that record in my bedroom in Richmond. And all of the demos for it were done on a four-track in my bedroom. I think EMI was a little leery of me being in the studio producing it on my own, which is what I was fighting for.

D'Angelo

I played a lot of keyboards, but I really wanted to produce the sound that was in my head that I was trying to emulate on the keys. I wanted to do it for real. And it makes me look at the keys in a different way. So it's like I'm looking at the guitar and bass more like meat and potatoes and keys like coloring over top of it, you know.

D'Angelo

I'm always writing and learning. It's about growth. So I'm growing as a musician, as a guitarist.

D'Angelo

Quotes of the Hour

I think the people who believe that works can and always should be divorced from the context are people who have the privilege to do so.
Nora K. Jemisin
If one is to be called a liar, one may as well make an effort to deserve the name.
Alan Alexander Milne
I am a firm believer that a good plot makes for a fun enough read, but it's not what binds us. If we don't care about the characters, we won't care – not in a lasting way – about what's happening to them.
Victoria Elizabeth Schwab
No sensible author wants anything but praise.
Alan Alexander Milne
You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place.
