D’Angelo, a legendary R&B singer who helped pioneer neo-soul, has died. He was 51.
His family wrote in a statement: “The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life…After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home, departing this life today, October 14th, 2025. We are saddened that he can only leave dear memories with his family, but we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time but invite you all join us in mourning his passing while also celebrating the gift of song that he has left for the world.”

I've been thinking about the rise in self-diagnosed autism and ADHD. It seems many are associating their struggle to function with neurodivergence, when in reality, the core issue might be that late stage capitalism, with its constant pressure, isolation, and demand for productivity, is fundamentally at odds with human well being. It's unnatural to thrive in this environment, and people are pathologizing a rational response to it.
Love Solange music but I wish she would just give her millions to actual curators who have been doing what she's doing with the archive library. I can name several projects in NYC, Baltimore, DC etc. Who've been doing this. It's not new. It's just moneyed.
