In between donning bespoke suits and baring his soul in the current issue of GQ magazineD’Angelo plugged in to put down an impromptu performance of what sounds like Funkadelic‘s “Soul Mate” on the set of the photo shoot.  An amazing little moment of musical candor from the notoriously camera-shy singer. Watch above and get psyched for this summer’s festival season.

    But why isn’t he playing that shyt tho good tho? He’s aint Funkadelic! NOT JESSE! NOT EVEN EDDIE!!! MY EARS MY EARS! They cannot take such preposterousatrociousnessocity!! *clutches chest* (C) – 50% of any music forum

    ANYWAYS. i like what the f*ck i’m hearing. Point blank. Go on and grow musically, D. Robin Thicke, hell even Alicia Keys aren’t the best at playing soulfully, but i still love hearing Robin Thicke’s work. Just tell your boy ?uestlove to HUSH because clearly people are having heart attacks and strokes over even the slightest of comparisons.
