In case you haven’t heard, D’Angelo is back, folks. The prodigal son of the soul and funk canon shocked the world, dropping his ever-awaited third studio album “Black Messiah” on a public that never saw it coming (unless, of course, you had your eyes and ears locked on the Okay realm). “Black Messiah” is about to hit wax and in a big way.

Anyone who’s been keeping up should be keen to the fact that the long-lusted over project was recorded in full analog, so the liner notes’ PSA “For best results, listen at maximum volume” should be taken as a direct order for fervent D’lievers. And what better way to experience the gritty greatness of the release than a heavy-bodied vinyl pressing for the audio junkies?

This double-LP pressing includes a download code for a digital copy of the album.
