Not new but pretty rare until now, “1000 Deaths” is a song from a James river’s session around 2007. At this time, D’angelo was working on an album called “James River”, Questlove was saying they recorded about 11 songs and it was more rock & psychedelic than the funky Voodoo or the smooth Brown Sugar. But apparently this version of “1000 Deaths” is different from the one some people heard in 2007, did he work on it since? Let’s hope. As the song “Really Love”, “1000 Deaths” is not a finish song so don’t go to hard on him.

Pas nouveau mais jusque là très rare, “1000 Deaths” est apparement un morceau issu d’une session de James River, l’album sur lequel il travaillait en 2007, Questlove avait même dit qu’ils avaient enregistré 11 morceaux. Cet album était annoncé comme quelque chose de beaucoup plus rock et psychédélique que le funky Voodoo ou le très doux Brown Sugar. Cependant cette version de “1000 Deaths” est apparement differente de celle que certain chanceux ont pu écouter en 2007. A-t-il travailler ce morceau depuis? On l’espère.
Comme le morceau “Really Love” (sur lequel D’angelo ne chantait aucune parole), “1000 Deaths” est un son non fini donc restez transigeant.
