All week, I've been playing "The Best So Far..." - the new CD by D'angelo. It's a greatest hits collection (how do you have a greatest hits collection with two CDs) with a few unreleased tracks including my favorite, "She's Always In My Hair." If you remember, that's an old Prince B-sides jam (one of my favorite Prince songs ever) and D'angelo rips this track. It's a perfect cover - not just musical arrangement but a perfect vocal performance that reminds me how much I miss D'angelo's music. His first CD was so fresh and refreshing. I remember how easy-breezy his first CD "Brown Sugar" made me feel. I miss his music like an old school crush from grade school. That's what his first CD was like to me. I always reflect back to it with roses and berry memories.
