D’Angelo — “Betray My Heart”

One of my other favorite songs off of D’Angelo’s new album Black Messiah is “Really Love.” I heard the demo a couple years ago and I love the final version. The album’s closer “Another Life” is also amazing! Now, it’s time for Lauryn to feed our souls and bless us with her second studio album!! She just killed her set in Ghana a few days ago and her voice sounded good! It took D 14 years to release his new album and Lauryn is approaching 13. A fan can only wish right? Lol.

this sunday, D’ANGELO will release his third studio album #BLACKMESSIAH!!

Based on the clip, it is clear to me that black consciousness is awakening…I loved some of the new songs I heard from D’Angelo’s comeback tour a year or two ago, but this 15 second video teaser for the new album has got me even more excited about this project! His last album, Voodoo, was released in 2000 so it’s good that the label is not trying to wait any longer to put this project out. On Sunday, he will sit down to talk with noted music/culture critic Nelson George and will play the album in its entirety.

I used this picture because Brezezinski wrote the memorandum while serving as the US National Security Advisor to Democratic President Jimmy Carter and two years later,  he (man on the far left) would go on to work under Republican President Ronald Reagan — a former Hollywood actor who as President, would help the Republican party usher in a more conservative form of politics that was  (and still is) anti-black and extremely hostile to civil rights. Clearly, he has power and I’m sure Brezezinski’s strategies were extremely influential in helping Reagan (as well as other Presidents) and the U.S. government achieve that racist shift that still dominates America’s conscience today.

While doing more research on Brzezinski, I saw a recent article which reported that he has condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza and that his “strong criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza indicates a ‘fundamental change in policy’ by the US government and is a ‘clear message’ to Israel.” Kinda shocking that he would lend his support to the Palestinians given his stance on Black Africa and African Americans in the U.S…
