Voodoo

The 230th greatest album of all time

Voodoo, released in 2000 by D'Angelo, is a groove-centered neo soul album that blends soul, funk, jazz and hip hop influences into a warm, analog-sounding sonic palette. The record emphasizes loose, syncopated rhythms and live instrumentation, foregrounding D'Angelo's rich, emotive vocals and a tactile, intimate atmosphere. Its focus on sensuality, spirituality and deep pocketed grooves made it an influential touchstone within the neo soul movement.
