Ösregnar ute… Har inte bestämt mig om jag ska upp tidigt i morgon för att drifta..eller bara skita i allt..
Allmänt uttråkad..
Och lyssnar på lite slow jams..
Så nattens sampling är.
Kool & the Gang Sea of Tranquility
D’angelo – Send it on
9.”Send It On” (2000)
Album: Voodoo
Writers: D’Angelo, Angie Stone, Luther Archer
After D’Angelo’s son was born, “Send It On” was the first song to emerge.
Written with his then partner and son’s mother, singer Angie Stone, and his brother Luther, “Send It On” is an instrumental interpolation of Kool and the Gang’s “Sea of Tranquility.”
D sings about the prospect of fatherhood coming as something he yearned for, something that frightened him, but ultimately something for him to embrace so he could pass on what he learned. Roy Hargrove’s luscious horns and D’Angelo’s closing gospel vocal vamp make “Send It On” one of D’s brightest achievements. —Matthew Allen
When D’Angelo made Voodoo, he packed it with tons of soul, in a very real sense: The album overflows with bone-deep, intensely felt reflections on love, spirituality, and fatherhood. Perhaps no moment is as tenderhearted as “Send It On,” the first song written for the album, dedicated to his first son. He worked on it alongside Angie Stone, the child’s mother, dialing up an interpolation of Kool & the Gang’s “Sea of Tranquility” to its most emotive and adding layers on layers of air-light vocals that get more poignant by the second. The final result is as sweet as a lullaby, but with the clarity and foresight that makes it stand as everlasting words of wisdom from a dad. —J.L.
