Recorded in New York and Sacramento, the album was written, arranged, performed, and largely produced by D’Angelo, who handled much of the instrumentation himself. Its production combines live drums, bass, guitar, organ, and electric piano with drum machines and other contemporary studio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from gospel, funk, quiet storm, hip hop, and 1970s soul, the album is built around loose rhythms, layered vocals, and understated arrangements. “Brown Sugar” incorporates hip hop production through Ali Shaheed Muhammad’s co-production, while “Lady” and D’Angelo’s cover of Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin’” emphasize the album’s melodic side. Elsewhere, “Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” addresses betrayal with unusually direct language, and “Higher” closes the record by bringing spiritual and romantic themes together through organ and overdubbed vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown Sugar reached number four on Billboard’s R\u0026amp;B albums chart and number 22 on the Billboard 200, earning platinum certification in the United States. Its success gave wider commercial visibility to the developing neo soul movement and established D’Angelo as one of its central early figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Brown Sugar\u003cbr\u003eA2 Alright\u003cbr\u003eA3 Jonz In My Bonz\u003cbr\u003eB1 Me And Those Dreamin' Eyes Of Mine\u003cbr\u003eB2 Shit, Damn, Motherfucker\u003cbr\u003eB3 Smooth\u003cbr\u003eC1 Cruisin'\u003cbr\u003eC2 When We Get By\u003cbr\u003eD1 Lady\u003cbr\u003eD2 Higher\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Resolute Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48104465334530,"sku":"0602547240811","price":54.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/0007\/9304\/files\/D_Angelo_BrownSugar.jpg?v=1783705518","url":"https:\/\/resoluterecords.ca\/products\/dangelo-brown-sugar-new-vinyl","provider":"Resolute Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
