The Singles Bar: D’Angelo’s “Black Hole Sun”
Here’s how much we’re fiending for new music from D’Angelo. We are posting a poorly-recorded remake that’s two years old. Seriously. Anyway, as rumors of a new album from D continue to float around, his version of Soundgarden’s classic “Black Hole Sun” just surfaced on the interwebs. It doesn’t hold a candle to the original, of course, but Mr. Archer does a pretty good job of making the song almost completely unrecognizable. It’s definitely got a strong stench of purple […]

He’s a celebrity DJ of note, and he’s also a Grammy-winning producer (Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black”), whose first couple of albums boasted collaborations with everyone from Ghostface Killah and Anthony Hamilton to Robbie Williams and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
