Voodoo

Voodoo is the second studio album by American musician D'Angelo, released on January 25, 2000, through Virgin Records. D'Angelo recorded the album during 1998 and 1999 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, with an extensive line-up of musicians associated with the Soulquarians musical collective. Produced primarily by the singer, Voodoo features a loose, groove-based funk sound and serves as a departure from the more conventional song structure of his debut album, Brown Sugar. Its lyrics explore themes of spirituality, love, sexuality, maturation, and fatherhood. Following heavy promotion and public anticipation, the album was met with commercial and critical success. It debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200, selling 320,000 copies in its first week, and spent thirty-three weeks on the chart. It was promoted with five singles, including the hit single "Untitled", whose music video garnered D'Angelo mainstream attention and controversy. Critically, Voodoo was acclaimed as a masterpiece and earned D'Angelo several accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album and top rankings in album polls for the year.
