Celebrating 22 years of Brown Sugar

You may be itching for new sounds from D'Angelo, but 22 years down the line, it's an ideal time to revisit his groundbreaking debut, Brown Sugar.

On August 25th, the soul legend will release a deluxe edition of his career-starting 1995 album, featuring 16 never-before heard remixes of album cuts and newly-inked liner notes from the venerable Nelson George. Today, three of those reworks have arrived by way of Complex, offering freshly-recalibrated takes on the Smokey Robinson cover, "Crusiin'," "Me and Those Dreaming Eyes of Mine," and the iconic title-track, embellishing groundwork laid by J Dilla and DJ Premier on their own classic remixes from the mid-nineties (though the creators of this new batch have yet to be named.)
