R&B heartthrob D’Angelo has been MIA from the music scene for years now but he’s finally making a come-back. The singer is gearing up to drop his upcoming album and even plans to start touring in October. Billboard’s Kevin Liles explains why the project has been taking so long. “Here’s the thing: with D’Angelo it was a process. He didn’t perform for 10 years and he’s been working on an album for the past 12 years. I actually got him to go out and do 30 shows [in 2011-2012], and then we did some ‘Brothers in Arms’ shows. I said, ‘We have to get motivated around what people want to hear from you, and what does it mean to come back to that space?’ He very bluntly put it, ‘Kev, the studio and the stage: that’s my lifeblood. Now that I’ve touched it again, now that I see it again, I wanna be sure that the baby I’m about to have — the album — that I take it to the point where it’s all it can be.’” Be on the look out for D’Angelo’s new album coming to a store near you!

Bobby V Is Ready To Throw In The R&B Towel – Calls 2014 R&B A,”Weird Place”
There is nothing like an R&B track [from the 90s] to bring those old feelings back. The Jagged Edge, Xscape, Shai, etc., just made you zone out. Things have changed and R&B artists such as Bobby V are beginning to notice. He’s calling the R&B game a, “weird place.” One that’s turned predominatly hip-hop. Can’t say that I disagree. Since Drake came out (lol) singers have found that they need to be able to rap and sing on the same damn track. Check out what else Bobby had to say on the current state of soulful sounds in his interview with Rolling Out.
