''Brown Sugar'' is the debut studio album by African-American musician Music/DAngelo, released in 1995 on EMI.
After his successful performance with his group Precise at the Apollo Theater in 1991, D'Angelo received a $500 check for his work at the venue and used most of it to purchase a four-track recorder and a keyboard. At his mother's house in Richmond, he began writing most of the material that would constitute the record around 1991 and 1992. Recording for the album took place during 1994 and 1995, with production being handled by Raphael Saadiq, [[Music/ATribeCalledQuest Ali Shaheed Muhammad]], Bob Power, Kedar Massenburg and himself in contrast to most R&B records which casted mostly well-known producers. D'Angelo would also play most of the instruments on the album himself, including saxophone, bass, guitar, piano, drums and a Hammond organ. He would also take major influence from older funk and soul artists such as Music/MarvinGaye and Music/{{Prince}}, the latter of which he admitted to wanting to emulate on his records.
Considered a seminal record in [[ContemporaryRAndB contemporary R&B]] and [[{{Soul}} soul]] music, it would harken back to traditional R&B's style of live instruments and organic grooves with a sizable influence from jazz and hip hop. It's stripped down and retro fashion placing itself in contrast to the digitally driven methods of R&B at the time. It would also be considered a seminal record in [[NeoSoul neo soul]], a genre an term coined by Kedar Massenburg (one of the producers on the record) to describe the style of R&B that was appearing in the late '90s, that was also being espoused by various other artists (Music/ErykahBadu, Maxwell, Joi, Meshell Ndegeocello, Music/TheRoots etc.). Some of which, were affiliated with one another (Music/DAngelo would be apart of a experimental black music collective called the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulquarians Soulquarians]] which included artists such as Erykah Badu, Music/JDilla and Questlove (also apart of The Roots) that would later assist in the production of his second album, ''Music/{{Voodoo}}''.).
In 2020, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked the album at number 183 on their updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
