Now continuing out trend of "Long Lost Albums Back In Effect" today...

(From styleweekly.com)
As Michael “D’Angelo” Archer faced legal problems in recent years that threatened to permanently derail his career, the promise of new material from the platinum-selling R&B singer seemed fragile. An album rumored to be called “James River” never surfaced. New music from the singer remained “in the works” and not in the stores. But earlier this month something happened. One of the three D’Angelo projects scheduled for this year actually came out.

“The Best So Far,” a collection of songs from both of his previous albums, coupled with songs from soundtracks and a DVD of all his music videos, was released earlier this month. Later this year, deluxe versions of his debut “Brown Sugar” and the follow-up “Voodoo” are scheduled to hit stores. Predictably, these releases will cover a lot of familiar territory, without the slightest hint of what the singer sounds like now. One person who’s heard the new music isn’t telling much.

“He’s written enough for three or four albums,” says his manager, Lindsay Guion. The music industry veteran is quick to discuss the singer’s new record contract with RCA, his recent weight loss and his studio work ethic. But if you want to know about the music, you’ll have to wait.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss song titles at this time,” he says.

Hopefully, not very long.

And on that note... I'm out.
