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 with a slow flow that you'd expect to hear from a man looking to sweet talk a woman's heart. “Life doesn't taste the same without you / tears in my champagne 'cause of you / Stop playin' girl, you know I'm crazy about you / You know that week you ran back to mama's house, ask my friends they can vouch / They slept on the sofa because the bed is not 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.
Listen to the full track below and let us know if you like this one and if you'll be catching it The Book of Clarence this weekend in the comments section below.
