Heartbreaking: Neo-soul legends Angie Stone and D’Angelo both passed away in 2025, just 7 months apart. Stone died in March at 63. D’Angelo died today at 51. They shared a son together. An entire generation’s soundtrack, gone. Rest in power to both 🕊️💔

51 is way too young. Hard to think of many artists who were as influential across genres in the past 30 years as D'Angelo. RIP.

after getting over the initial shock I got a follow-up "oof" remembering he was just in the Sly Stone doc talking about how white rock stars get to grow old and comfortable

When Michael Eugene Archer emerged in 1996, he sounded like a gleaming throwback: a little Donnie Hathaway here, two tablespoons of Smokey there. No gentility, though: his ethos absorbed Redman and…
