D’Angelo Untitled, Yet Eternal

D’Angelo Untitled, Yet Eternal

When D’Angelo released Brown Sugar in 1995, I was mesmerized. His voice was smooth yet earthy, the grooves laid back but deeply intentional, and the instrumentation felt retro, but somehow futuristic. Brown Sugar, Lady, When We Get By, and his transformative version of Smokey Robinson’s Cruisin’ were invitations into a new world of sound where intimacy, vulnerability, and groove coexisted in perfect balance.

Chayse Sampy’s “Who Feels It, Knows It” at the Houston Museum of African American Culture

Walking into the Houston Museum of African American Culture, I was immediately drawn into the emotional gravity of Chayse Sampy’s exhibition Who Feels It, Knows It. The title, taken from a Rastafari proverb, speaks to lived experience as a form of knowledge, something you cannot learn in a book but must feel in your bones. This guiding principle weaves through every piece, making the show not just a collection of works but a meditation on memory, transformation, and the layered textures of Black life.
