The Vietnam-era got Marvin Gaye's What's Going On in 1971, Gulf War-stricken Generation X had Pearl Jam's Ten and Rage Against the Machine's self-titled debut, and Ice Cube held a mirror up to the Los Angeles riots on The Predator in 1992. Amidst a groundswell of tensions and upheavals, D'Angelo and The Vanguard delivered Black Messiah upon unsuspecting, yet receptive masses on December 15, 2014. It not only broke a 14-year studio silence from the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer, but it also reaffirmed the need for raw, righteous, and real soul. Its impact could immediately be felt when it landed at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and #5 on the Top 200. The fans spoke, and the critics did as well. The New York Times, Spin, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless others extolled the album for both its music and message, thus usurping countless "Best of 2014" music lists. However, D'Angelo truly connected once he hit the stage again. He made his Saturday Night Live debut on February 1st, 2015 with a silky performance of "Really Love" plus a poignant and powerful rendition of "The Charade" from Black Messiah. Hoodie on, guitar in hand, and surrounded by The Vanguard with statements such as "I Can't Breathe" and "Black Lives Matter" emblazoned upon their t-shirts, D'Angelo left audiences speechless. He and The Vanguard followed up this seminal moment with a completely sold out European tour -- entitled The Second Coming -- marking his first full jaunt since 2012's Occupy Music Tour and The Liberation Tour.
