| | Label | Virgin Records | | Producer(s) | D'Angelo | | D'Angelo chronology | Voodoo (2000) | James River (2007) | | | James River is the working title of the long-awaited upcoming album by neo soul singer, D'Angelo. The recording of the album is speculated to be underway, but as of writing, no new songs have been previewed, and very little is known about the project. Jermaine Dupri, who recently left his position at Virgin Records, may be lending executive producing services to the record. It is unknown whether D'Angelo's past collaborators, such as Raphael Saadiq and ?uestlove, will be contributing to the album. One producer (and fellow Soulquarian) that D'Angelo will never be able to directly work with again is the deceased J Dilla, though posthumous collaboration is certainly a possibility.

| “ | We have been working on it (on and off) since 2002. And I don't have any idea when the exact release date is but hopefully this year, the latest 2008. But it has been in progress (slow as that may be). We were in the studio last November doing some o/d's and rough mixes on about 5 new songs that we could play for the label. But besides that, D has not worked on the album for about 2 years or so. We do have plans to head in the studio in may to finish mixes on some live material from the Voodoo tour and that's all I can say about the live stuff for now...sorry I turned him onto Hendrix just before we started Voodoo (hence the album title) and he just went crazy. It was like a revelation for him. He realized (for the first time) that a lot of his heroes were greatly influenced by Hendrix, including Prince, Sly, George Clinton...everyone! And I got him hooked on The Beatles as well. So it's opened up a few doors for him. This article contains a trivia section. ...

It will be a different album than Voodoo, that much is definite. To me it's leaning more in a rock direction. Like Funkadelic meets the Beatles or something. He hasn't given up his soul roots by any means, but he is growing and exploring a new genre. He's writing quite a bit of music on guitar rather than the keyboard this time as well. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Parliament-Funkadelic. ...
It will have a different sonic quality as well. We'll have to see how it will turn out as the vision has not revealed itself fully yet. His songs are varied and he's gone through much experimentation. My contributions will be (more than ever) in the old school production techniques and style. But this time it will come from a slightly more rock perspective...slightly. And heavier. [1] | ” | References |
