Summary: The Best Of A Young R & B Legend
Comment: While he doesn't have a lot of albums out there, what D'Angelo lacks in numbers, he more than makes up for in quality and his body of work is definitely of the best R & B quality you can find whether you are talking about the classics like Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Manhattans, Luther Vandross, Barry White or recent cats like Tony, Toni, Tone, New Edition, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige or Chrisette Michelle.
What makes D'Angelo in the league of these men and women is that they don't have to do a lot. Their music just touches something in the soul. Once, a pastor at a church talked about how people do all these things with their music to get the congregation going when the music alone should stir the show. D'Angelo is one of those people in my view. Don't get me wrong, I love my Beyonce, Ashanti, Janet Jackson and even guys like Omarion or Jodeci from years past but these people I named didn't need to show half their skin (though D'Angelo does that quite a bit) to have a good concert.
As for the release itself, it indeed has his best works. My favorites is a three way between My Lady, Untitled (How Does It Feel) and I Found My Smile Again. Whether you are a fan of this man, of good R & B music or just good music period, this album is for you!

Summary: D'Angelo - The Best So Far...
Comment: Personally, I think they could have made a way better greatest hits album than this for D'. But if they were to make the perfect D'angelo greatest hits album it would probably have to be 2 discs. But the thing that really makes me happy about this release is that they added six extra songs that were not on his previous two albums, Voodoo, and Brown Sugar. Thats the main reason i bought this album, i wanted some new D'Angelo music to listen to, as alot of people do with his eight year hiatus. Now, the six songs that werent on his previous albums, have been released before, but most of them were on no name sountracks, therefore making the songs pretty much unheard of. But the biggest plus of all you get from this album, is that i believe that the record label put this collection out to kinda re-establish that D'angelo is indeed still making music, hence the title, "The Best So Far...". Which to me means that, give him a year or so and we mite actually have some new D'Angelo matireal on our hands, which is much needed rite now. There are some artists that are trying to fill the gaping hole that is now present with D'Angelo's overly long hiatus, such as Musiq, Dwele, Anthony David, and even Rahsaan Patterson. But the only one of those artists thats truly talented enough to even help the Neo Soul movement is Dwele, (See my Sketches Of A Man review). But even the amazing Dwele is no D'Angelo. So Basically if your reading this review, just know if you buy this album your basically getting all the hit D' songs, and then a couple of extra songs from his first two albums plus six extra bonus songs from other sountracks he contributed to. The first of the extra bunch is "I Found My Smile Again" which is an excellent sweet song that has a very bright feel to it as opposed to some of D's other darker, more voodooish type of work. And then there is the fairly uptempo "Girl You Need A Change of Mind" and the baby maker "Shes Always in My Hair". But honestly, unless your a die hard D'Angelo fan like me lol, you would probably be better off just buying his two albums Brown Sugar and Voodoo... Ok i lied, this album is worth picking up because its nice to have all those extra rare tracks on one cd! D's starting his comeback people look out!
