It feels like it's been forever and a day since we've gotten new material from D'Angelo. So it only makes sense that the man is making up for lost time with a new track that not only features the GOAT himself, Jay-Z, but also clocks in at 9 minutes.
Collaboration with Hova on “I Want You Forever” off the soundtrack for The Book of Clarence, D'Angelo goes into baby-making mode and hits all the notes you'd want to hear with the lights low and the candles lit. Even Jay-Z gets into the groove as he drops his bars in a slow style you'd expect to hear from a man who wants to sweet talk his way into a woman's heart saying “Life just doesn't taste the same without you / tears in my champagne without you / Stop playing girl, you know I'm crazy about you / You know that week you came back to mom's house, she asked my friends to vouch / I slept on the couch cause the bed ain't a bed without you…”
Jay out here reminding Beyoncé that he's all about their love. Well, if we were married to her, we'd play her 9-minute love songs.
