D'Angelo's musical genius

I've always been a huge fan of D'Angelo. His was the first concert I went to that really inspired me. His songs create a soulfulness that's palpable and you just cannot help but get lost in its grooviness. Anyways, I was listening to "Africa" (seriously one of my favorite songs of all time) and I went on a hopeful google search to see if he was ever going to come out with another album. What I found was the image below posted on his website and now I'm a happy boy. I also remember hearing a while back that John Mayer was going to collaborate with the man himself, which would be phenomenal. I hear a lot of D'Angelo's neo-soul influence on Mayer tracks like "I Don't Trust Myself" and "Vultures." I'm waiting in full anticipation for the new album.
