D'Angelo Shares the True Meaning of His 'Untitled' Video. The EMF performer maintains the video wasn't about sex, but his grandmother's cooking. D’Angelo is prepping for his return to music this year and has landed in the pages of GQ’s June issue. Along with six stunning pictures, the ESSENCE Music Festival performer explained the real meaning behind his sexy and iconic video “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” His interpretation of the song may surprise you – it has nothing to do with sex. The men’s magazine caught up with the video’s director, Paul Hunter, and he explained it was all about food. “Most people think the ‘Untitled’ video was about sex,” he says. “But my direction was completely opposite of that. It was about his grandmother’s cooking. Think of your grandmother’s greens, how it smelled in the kitchen. What did the yams and fried chicken taste like? That’s what I want you to express.” D’Angelo, who recently wrapped up his European tour, agrees. “It’s so true: We talked about the Holy Ghost and the church before the take. The veil is the nudity and the sexuality. But what they’re really getting is the spirit.” The single, which debuted in 2000 off his Voodoo album, sent women across the nation into a tizzy, leaving D’Angelo feeling uncomfortable with the attention. “One time, I got mad when a female threw money at me onstage, and that made me feel like f*cked-up, and I threw the money back at her. I was like, ‘I’m not a stripper.'” “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” by D’Angelo. This song addresses D’Angelo’s plea for his lover’s attention while expressing his sensual desire for her as well. D’Angelo woos his lady by first assuring her that she is the only woman in his life, in order to gain her trust. He also gives her the freedom to choose if she wants to be with him. The goal is to persuade his lover into his arms, this is why the singer uses all tender means possible so he can win her attention. He also assures her that he is capable of fulfilling her needs; another appeal to her personal interests. Throughout the song, D’Angelo is bent on trying to please his woman and make her feel gratified being with him. This is why he wants to know exactly how she feels about everything that’s going on in their love affair. He’s also interested in getting his bedroom needs fulfilled as he explicitly tells her what he wants to do. He sets a sensual mood for his lover while asking her for privacy by closing the door, then opening up to him so he can satisfy her.

You can listen BJ’s cover below: There Will Never Be Another Music Video Like D’Angelo’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” In the five years between his debut album, Brown Sugar, and Voodoo , D’Angelo’s personal and musical career had changed. The artist suffered from writer’s block after spending two years touring for Brown Sugar ; only after his son Michael was born (with then-girlfriend Angie Stone) in 1998 did he feel inspired to write music again. During this time, he had also been inducted into the Soulquarians, an Avengers-like superteam of rap and soul luminaries whose members — Bilal, Common, Erykah Badu, J Dilla, Q-Tip, Questlove, and others — favored unconventionality and artistic integrity. That the singer found a kindred spirit in The Roots’ Questlove — who was integral to the recording process of Voodoo — isn’t surprising. They shared a desire to celebrate and study the greats — Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, George Clinton, Marvin Gaye, Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder and, of course, Prince. These artists served as the foundation for Voodoo . “…the biggest influence on the record was someone who never came to the studio: Prince,” Questlove said in a 2000 Rolling Stone interview. “Way after Voodoo was finished, D and I sat down and listened to it, and we both admitted that this was our audition tape for Prince.” If there’s any song indicative of the late Purple One’s influence on Voodoo , it’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” Reminiscent of the ballads the Minneapolis musician made during the ’80s and early ’90s — particularly “Do Me, Baby,” “Scandalous,” and “Insatiable” — there have been countless forums made debating if “Untitled” is plagiarism or an homage to Prince. (The latter is more apt, with Questlove even declaring the track “our homage to the Controversy -era Prince” in a Voodoo album review.) The most notable nod to Prince in “Untitled” is D’Angelo’s falsetto: an androgynous croon that shifts in multiple tones throughout the song’s seven minutes. At times, it’s mumbled and quiet, his pleas practically indecipherable. Others, it’s confident and triumphant, the lightness of his voice propelled by cathartic screams meant to make you feel the satisfaction his lover gives him. Anchoring D’Angelo’s vocals is the instrumentation: Raphael Saadiq on bass and guitar; the late Chalmers Edward “Spanky” Alford on guitar; and D’Angelo on additional instruments. It’s improvisational yet structured, loose yet precise — a sensual and erotic ballad swung hard by a cool backbeat, rimshots echoing into a void of blues, funk, and soul driven by soft guitar strums and bouncy bass. There’s a vintage grit to it too courtesy of audio engineer Russell Elevado, whose use of vintage analog equipment and mixing gear made “Untitled” (and the rest of Voodoo ) feel and sound just like the classics D’Angelo sought to emulate.
