Michael Eugene Archer, better known by his stage name D'Angelo, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer. He rose to fame in the mid-1990s with his debut album "Brown Sugar," released in 1995. This album marked a significant moment in the rise of the neo-soul movement, with its rich fusion of classic soul, R&B, and funk. D'Angelo's smooth vocals, sensual lyrics, and meticulous production garnered critical acclaim and spawned a legion of fans.

His follow-up album, "Voodoo," hit the shelves in 2000 and only cemented his reputation as a musical innovator. After going on hiatus, which left fans yearning for new material, D'Angelo returned in 2014 with "Black Messiah," an album that once again showcased his evolution as an artist and tackled social and political issues. Its release was a powerful reminder of D'Angelo's relevance in the music industry, further solidifying his status as a modern soul icon. The staggered releases of tracks like "I Found My Smile Again" and "Unshaken" continue to keep his music in the public consciousness and exemplify his enduring artistry.
