The Greatest Music
Brown Sugar
by D'Angelo
The 476th greatest album of all time
Brown Sugar, D'Angelo's 1995 debut, blends contemporary R&B, soul, funk and hip hop-soul into warm, groove-driven songs characterized by laid-back, expressive vocals and prominent live instrumentation. The album pairs intimate, romantic songwriting with retro-soul production touches and loose, organic grooves that helped position D'Angelo as a central figure in the 1990s neo-soul movement.
