I Found My Smile Again, Thanks D'Angelo

During my quest to investigate how many artists use Auto-Tune (pitch correction technology) to adjust their vocals to make them sound better or for some other creative way of recording vocals (T-Pain) my ears have been so focused on the radio lately....I'll post my findings at another time. I will say this: the use of Auto-Tune is purely overkill, and featuring T-Pain or Lil' Wayne on a project, in my opinion does nothing for the artists featuring them, it actually adds more focus to T-Pain or Wayne.

Anyway, I digress, the purpose of this post is to talk about the super sexy D'angelo and his return to the music scene.

Check out "I Found My Smile Again", D'angelo's new single; I hope he's been working out too. :)

New Music: D'Angelo Greatest Hits Release

D'angelo, the first man I ever thought to be sexy in cornrows is releasing a greatest hits cd/dvd, "The Best So Far", tomorrow. This is cool, but I'm still anticipating the new album, we've been waiting 8 years. Come on, D! According to his Myspace page, he has a new label deal with J Records, hopefully the new label deal is a sign to expect some new music soon.
