“When it comes to long-awaited, it doesn’t get much more long-awaited than new music from Michael D’Angelo Archer. Think Chinese Democracy-level long-awaited. Detox-level long-awaited, even. So, without further ado: Black Messiah is coming, and we have an exclusive track from the album for you – the full, official studio version of ‘Sugah Daddy’, a song that soul music’s ever-elusive prodigal son and his new band, The Vanguard, first played live on their celebrated 2012 tour. Welcome back, D.”
Update: The record is available now! This is not a drill people!
