Voodoo (D'Angelo album)
Voodoo is the second studio album by American recording artist D'Angelo, released on January 25, 2000, by Virgin Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during 1998 to 1999 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, featuring an extensive line-up of musicians associated with the Soulquarians musical collective. Produced primarily by D'Angelo, Voodoo features a loose, groove-based funk sound and serves as a departure from the more conventional song structure of his debut album, Brown Sugar (1995). The album features lyrical themes regarding spirituality, love, sexuality, growth, and fatherhood.
Amid heavy promotion and an anticipated release, the album was released to commercial and critical success. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 320,000 copies in its first week, and spent 33 weeks on the chart. It was promoted with five singles, including the hit single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", whose music video garnered D'Angelo mainstream attention and controversy. Upon its release, Voodoo received general acclaim from music critics and earned D'Angelo several accolades. It was named one of the year's best albums by numerous publications.

The Tour
by: Mary J. BligeOh, it's been such a long long time
Looks like I'd get you off of my mind
But I can't
Just the thought of you, my love
And my whole world turns misty blue
Oh, honey, just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
Listen to me good baby
I think of the things that we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby
When I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied, I've lied
Baby, baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Oh, deep in my heart, I know I've lied
I know I've lied
Oh, oh, hey
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't forget you
Heaven knows I try, heaven knows I try
And, oh, hey, hey, hey
Oh, no I can't, no I can't, oh, I can't, I can't forget you
And my whole world turns misty blue
Hey, hey, yeah
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't
Said I can't forget you
If you know the song, sing along
Ooh, cause my whole world turns misty blue
And I wanna say, before I go right now tonight y'all
BecauseI don't have any thing else unless
You wanna hear it
I wanna say from the bottom of my heart
Now I really know what love is
>From a distance
And it's real love
And I wanna thank each and every one of you
For supporting me, cause I couldn't have done it without you
And I'd be misty blue if I didn't have your love
And if it was you
I'd be out there screamin and cheerin for you
