His next album, Voodoo (2000), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. He would then collaborate with artists such as Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and then girlfriend Angie Stone. Its third single " Lady", reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut studio album, Brown Sugar (1995), received widespread acclaim from music critics, who have credited the album for ushering in the neo soul movement and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He first garnered attention after co-producing the single "U Will Know" for R&B supergroup Black Men United. In the meantime, a trio of producers have released some pretty solid remixes of “ Spanish Joint” in the past month (seriously, what are the odds that everyone gravitated toward the same 14-year-old track almost simultaneously? There’s definitely something in the air…), each one giving the original a little more dancefloor oomph.Michael Eugene Archer (born February 11, 1974), better known by his stage name D'Angelo ( / d i ˈ æ n dʒ əl oʊ/), is an American singer, musician, and songwriter. Well, things haven’t quite panned out and we’ll have to just wait a while longer than expected for D’Angelo’s follow up to 2000’s “ Voodoo“. Hey, remember last year when Q uestlove said that D’Angelo’s album was 99% done and we all collectively thought - Great! That must mean it’s coming out soon! It’s available as a free download by liking Mixpak Records’ facebook page. The “Everything Nice” remix is pretty similar to the remix original except it trades in a Popcaan verse for a guest spot by Mavado. If his forthcoming “ Where We Come From” album has a couple more jams on par with “ Everything Nice“, I could see Popcaan taking a Sean Paul-circa 2002 sized leap into your mom knows a Popcaan song-territory this summer. Popcaan‘s name is becoming increasingly familiar to American audiences with recent appearances on tracks with Major Lazer, Snoop Lion and Pusha T. When I first heard it I thought, oh, that’s a nice tune, but with every listen I’m growing more and more convinced that it might just be the my favorite single of 2014. Popcaan’s minimalist dancehall burner “ Everything Nice” has been burrowing its way into my brain and laying eggs for the past couple weeks.
