Is D'Angelo Coming Back?

D'Angelo will release a new album in spring next year, nearly eight years after the release of the seminal neo-soul record Voodoo, numerous sites and blogs are reporting. Hopefully this isn't another Maxwell - Black Summer's Night, the album that will be released next spring, next summer, next autumn, next winter... maybe next year, or the one after (does anyone actually believe that record will ever drop?) No word yet on the album's name or concrete release dates, but there's talk of a single before the end of the year (which year is that, exactly?) The album may include the leaked track Really Love.
