Untitled (How Does It Feel)

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition during the eleven-minute version of Brown Sugar where the band drops out entirely to let the crowd sing the hook back to D'Angelo.

The explosive horn-driven climax of Chicken Grease where the rhythm section locks into an incredibly tight, repetitive funk loop.

The final minutes of Untitled (How Does It Feel) where D'Angelo's falsetto reaches a raw, screaming peak over a slow-burning, heavy bassline.
