D'Angelo has firmly established himself as one of the biggest c**kteases in soul music. After the quiet, non-label sanctioned release of Yoda: The Monarch of Soul, we have what is being touted as the official D'Angelo collection slated for release on June 24th entitled The Best So Far...
We understand Virgin's intentions here. They know how badly people are grinding their teeth for some fresh D'Angelo, and why not capitalize from it by releasing this "career-spanning" CD/DVD set? Aside from his biggest hits, the compilation includes his duets with Erykah Badu and Raphael Saadiq, as well as the Prince cover from Scream 2, and a few other "rare," non-album joints. The DVD includes all of his videos and the digital version of the album comes with 4 ringtones. To be sure, this is the definitive set for any D'Angelo fan, who probably owns most of this material yet hasn't been resourceful enough to gather it all in one place. But this fan ain't drinking the punch. He needs to quit with this Maxwellian foolishness and release an album of new material. Shoo... Tracklisting after the bounce.
