D’Angelo

D’Angelo

After making the mistake of walking across the festival grounds to see part of Death Grips, I got back over to D’Angelo just in time to catch the beginning of his set. Because of a certain gravitational force across the festival grounds, over at the main stage, I was only able to stay for a few songs of D’Angelo’s set this time around, but consider this a public service announcement: it’s still sort of shocking we get to see D’Angelo on the festival circuit in 2015. It’s still something to be excited about. Because D’Angelo is one of those performers that has an effortless charisma onstage, and now he’s backed by a very tight band offering up all sorts of frazzled funk. If you find yourself at a festival with D’Angelo on the bill, you should drop almost anything else to see his set. Except, well, if Morrissey’s around.
