D'Angelo covers Soundgarden, creates even more anticipation for long-awaited album

Jan 3 2012

For anyone seduced by his 2000 masterpiece Voodoo, D’Angelo’s absence over the past dozen years has been deeply felt in the nether regions.
Voodoo has proven to be one of those albums that truly stands the test of time.
Luckily, the wait for a follow-up may finally be over. D’Angelo has a trio of live shows in Europe currently on his calendar, and according to people who have worked with him his third album is finally nearing completion.
And now, there’s new D’Angelo music online, featuring the singer covering Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” of all things. It’s a little rough (likely just a demo), but it proves not only that he still has his pipes, but that he’s also able to turn classic tunes on their heads.
