D'Angelo Estate Says Posthumous Album Is Being Assembled From Vault

The family has started curating unreleased recordings, requiring collaborator verification and legal clearances before any music is released.

Overview

  • D'Angelo's brother Luther Archer told Kiss Richmond that the family has identified six tracks intended for a posthumous album and is reviewing a larger vault of unreleased material.
  • Archer's remarks, reported Sunday, also flagged a reported recording that may include Mary J. Blige and Michael Jackson, a claim the estate is still vetting.
  • The estate is weighing follow-up projects such as a B-sides collection and an album of covers drawn from the vault rather than committing to a single release plan.
  • No release date, album title, or full tracklist has been announced and the family says it must complete curation, collaborator checks, and legal clearances first.
  • The move reopens D'Angelo's recorded legacy—best known for three studio albums—and could expand his catalog while prompting close attention from fans and rights holders.
