The Best So Far...

Performer: D'Angelo
Artist: Erykah Badu; Method Man; Redman; Raphael Saadiq
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Despite releasing only two full-length studio albums in the span of 13 years--1995's BROWN SUGAR and 2000's VOODOO--neo-soul star D'Angelo (born Michael Eugene Archer) unveiled a greatest-hits collection in '08. Instead of merely compiling the hits from those records, however, BEST also presents a number of rare tunes by D'Angelo from his many album-less years. In addition to the successful slow jams "Lady" and "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," this CD/DVD set includes "Your Precious Love," a 1960s-inspired duet with Erykah Badu, and "Be Here," a vibrant live collaboration with Raphael Saadiq. With its 17 audio tracks and seven videos, THE BEST SO FAR lives up to its title.

Q (Magazine) (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "When he really hit his stride, as on the sultry 'Brown Sugar' or 'Untitled (How Does It Feel), he was a soul master worthy of any era."

The mid-'90s urban music scene may have been dominated by rap acts, but such sexy soul artists as Maxwell, Tevin Campbell, and especially D'Angelo balanced things out. D'Angelo revisited the smooth and soulful sounds of such legendary '60s crooners as Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Isaac Hayes on such hit releases as 1995's BROWN SUGAR and 2000's VOODOO.
