In this episode, we gather to reflect on the life, music, and artistic integrity of D’Angelo. Recorded in the days following his passing, this conversation is raw, personal, and deeply felt.

Joined by Michela Marino Lerman, Jumaane Taylor, Jason Samuels Smith, Victoria Miller, Michael Shand, and Joanna Majoko, we talk about process, patience, and what it means to create work that lasts. We reflect on D’Angelo as a beacon, a high-water mark for what a master work can be, and how his music forces an honest reckoning with time, ambition, and the danger of waiting.

This episode is about legacy, devotion to craft, and the urgency of taking yourself seriously as an artist.

Don’t wait. Do the work. Finish the job.
