Hot 16: SoulBounce’s Best Albums Of 2014

D’Angelo Black Messiah [Review][Amazon][iTunes][Google Play]

Where do you start with a monumental album like D'Angelo's Black Messiah? None was more eagerly awaited and anticipated, yet there was not one hint of let down. Instead, we received an album filled with every nuance you could possibly imagine. Light and dark, anger and love, all of the human condition is here, backed up by killer grooves and extraordinary musicianship. A burning symbol of all that is great about music. Soul or any other kind. -- Paisley Sparks
