D’Angelo performs ‘Untitled (How Does It Feel)’ live at Essence Fest [Video]

Soul master D’Angelo continues to blaze the comeback trail, this time blessing the annual Essence Music Festival with his presence.

Mr. Archer was the highlight of the festival’s opening night, and in the clip below you can see him driving the New Orleans crowd crazy with a rendition of his classic single “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” Donning his now-ubiquitous all-black-everything ensemble, D’Angelo teased the eager crowd with the song’s first few chords before standing up from the piano and taking a look to make sure they were ready for what he was about to do to them. Once convinced that they could handle it, he went back to the keys and belted out a pitch-perfect performance, even imploring the crowd to sing along — though it’s not like he needed to.

D’Angelo’s officially back.
