Not only is D'Angelo's endlessly awaited new album "99 percent done," it's an album well worth waiting for, Questlove told Billboard in a new interview. "I would not be far off by saying this is probably my generation's version of Sly [and the Family Stone's] There's a Riot Goin' On," the drummer said. "It's potent. It's funky. It's an extremely hard pill to swallow."
Questlove said the singer has been holed up in the studio finishing the "totally brilliant" follow-up to 2000's classic Voodoo.
The Fallon drummer added that he hopes D'Angelo will turn in the album next month, and said the new songs sound fresh despite the delay.
"He's one of those artists that have, of course, taken 13 years to follow up a record. It's going to take you about 10 years to digest this record. Totally brilliant. Just the way this society works with music . . . being able to judge if something is a classic after the first listen, you can do that after 30 seconds on this. And the fact that we started this record in 2004, and it still sounds like it came out five years from now, it is a testament to the timelessness of it."
