R&B singer D’Angelo has broken his silence after being absent from the music scene for the last ten years and confirmed speculation that a new album is in the works.

Sharing his thoughts on the music industry, D’Angelo said there exists a strong underground movement of artists.

“I think [originality] is out there, but there’s a lot of folks, people in power, record executives or what have you, that are less willing to take chances on s**t that might be different,” he explained in an interview. “But I think there’s an underground bubbling up under. A lot of Black folks are trying to do different s**t or they wanna do different s**t. I don’t know the condition of what’s going on in the business right now, but they’re having a hard time cracking through…I’m really just focusing on getting this album together…I just want them to know that I’m coming. That’s all. I’m in the kitchen and I’m cooking up something real nice.” (The Urban Daily)

Earlier this month, celebrity personal trainer Mark Jenkins informed SOHH of D’Angelo’s interest to return to music-making and getting in shape.

JOROB SPEAKS

RnB artist gives insight to the industry, the DMV & his purpose.

-by Saint

On a cool September evening, Jorob & I talk shop. As the subject of the game and making moves came up. This is what the RnB singer had to say!

“I’m really trying push the knowledge on the entertainment business because the average artist has no clue about what needs to be done to take their career to the next level. I think we can blame this on the fact that artist believe what they see on TV and major artists make things seem easy. Most artist don’t know what BMI or ASCAP is, don’t know about sound exchange, performance contracts nor have a clue how to copywriter their music, just to name a few. But my main goal as a pioneer of the entertainment industry is to take my gift of music and touch the lives of people who may be sick or less fortunate. Also I want to be a positive roll model for young kids. When I was growing up I had nothing! It was almost impossible to make ends meet. My Pop’s was murdered in cold blood leaving me the man of the house at a very young age with my brothers and sisters. So i want  to help give people who may be in that position, or any type of struggle, the hope and  knowledge that gives them the strength to keep moving. The important thing is to make sure they help the next person.  Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy when i tell them I’m trying to change the world so i really want to show them im serious about what i say.”
