D'Angelo Dies at 51 in New York
Michael Eugene Archer, known as D'Angelo, has died in New York at 51. Across three studio albums—Brown Sugar (1995), Voodoo (2000) and Black Messiah (2014)—he fused 1960s–70s soul, hip‑hop textures and deep funk to remake soul for a new generation. His performances and recordings blended the sacred and the sensual, drew on diasporic influences and church‑inflected collaborations, and helped define the neo‑soul era even as he rejected that label, calling his work “black music.” His lengthy creative gaps and battles with the music industry deepened his mystique, and news of his death has prompted widespread grief and remembrances. No official cause of death has been specified.
