nu soul
Neo soul is a term coined by music industry entrepreneur Kedar Massenburg during the late 1990s to market and describe a style of music that emerged from soul and contemporary R&B. Heavily based in soul music, neo soul is distinguished by a less conventional sound than its contemporary R&B counterpart, with incorporated elements ranging from jazz, funk, and hip hop to pop, fusion, and African music. It has been noted by music writers for its traditional R&B influences, conscious-driven lyrics, and strong female presence.

Brown Sugar
D'Angelo Lyrics
Let me tell you 'bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy
The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin'
Won't you listen?
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar, ooh ooh
Oh sugar when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like the honey when it comes to me
Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar, ooh ooh
Now that'd be how the story goes
Brown Sugar got me open, now I want some more
Always down for a menage-a-troi
But I think I'm a hit it solo
Hope my niggas don't mind
Stick out my tongue and I'm bout
Ready to hit this pretty gritty
Bitty with persistence
Yo, I don't think ya'll hear me
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar, ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy
The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissing when I'm kissing what I'm missing
Won't you listen?
[Chorus]
Brown Sugar, babe,
I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Oh, Sugar, when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like honey when it comes to me
Skin is caramel with the cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai
[Chorus]
Brown Sugar, babe,
I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar, oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
Ooh, ooh
[Interlude]
Yo, Tail, cut me up some
[Verse 3]
Now that'd be how the story goes
Brown Sugar got me open,
Now I want some more, huh
Always down for a ménage à trois
But I think I'ma hit it solo
Hope my niggas don't mind
Stick out my tongue and I'm bout
Ready to hit this pretty gritty
Bitty with persistence
Yo, I don't think y'all hear me
[Chorus]
Brown Sugar, babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(I want some of your brown sugar, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, babe, oh, yeah)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, gimme some of your brown sugar, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Baby, oh, babe)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(I-I, oh, babe)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Ooh, babe, ooh, oh, babe)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Brown sugar, so sweet, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Baby, so good to me, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, brown sugar, yeah, oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Brown, brown)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, oh, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Sugar, baby, sweet to me every night)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Brown sugar in my cup)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(Oh, brown sugar, baby, sweet as could be)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)
(You're so good to me, oh-oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (Sugar)

D’Angelo’s dad, Luther Archer Sr, was my pastor. He just died a few months ago. He was a fantastic man and musician. D’Angelo definitely gets his musical talents from his pops! REST IN POWER, PASTOR LUTHER ❤️

I suffer from really bad anxiety and often have panic attacks that are nearly uncontrollable (almost daily). But whenever I do get anxiety attacks, I put this album on and all the stress goes away. I wish I can thank D’Angelo personally for this beautiful album. A true artist and one of the most talented individuals to walk on planet Earth. All his albums are masterpieces. But this is my go to album when I’m stressed and idk what I’d do without it. Thank you D’Angelo.

I couldn't agree with you more. This was written exactly how I would have commented. My partner and I would listen to this and felt like every problem could be solved. Love to D'angelo for creating a masterpiece. Xx
