Mannnnnnnn, this was absolutely spot on. I could see myself and how D'Angelo's music has deeply impacted me throughout the decades in your words; so beautifully written. Thank you for this, Ricky!

This piece. My God. It’s so rich, so soulful. There’s something ancestral about D’Angelo’s music that grips me every time I hear it. And you captured that essence, every beat and every note, so beautifully, so nostalgically, so poetically.

I had to read this twice just to sit with the feeling of it. Your writing not only describes the music, it moves like the music. It’s alive. It makes me feel alive.

Wow. What a beautiful tribute ❤️
