The concerts of the man with the discreetly warm timbre bring tears of joy to the eyes of even the most critical naysayers. D'ANGELO's unique combination of traditional R&B sounds and the groove of the street is as simple as it is ingenious. Written, recorded and produced single-handedly, "Brown Sugar" captivates with soul without boundaries. D'ANGELO stands out in the recycling business with real songs. Songs that force you to listen and relax without ever getting boring. A MUST FOR ALL SOUL FANS: D'ANGELO !!!
