    My favorite track is the root but favorite album of D'Angelo. But also at the last track of the album voodoo, at the end of the song Africa the whole album rewinds back to the beginning just like Kendrick Lamar's Damn album's last track Duckworth ❤🖤🔥🌹

      Yes, it's such a bad mix indeed. The drums are so loud and the other instruments are buried including the vocals. It's like this was a rough mix done by an assistant engineer at the end of long night session who loved the drum sounds and decided to turn it way up .
