Brown Sugar is the debut studio album by American R&B singer, songwriter, and t D'Angelo. It was released on July 3, 1995, by EMI Music. The album was recorded during 1994 and 1995 in sessions at Battery Studios and RPM Studios in New York City and at the Pookie Lab in Sacramento. Its production, instrumentation, arrangements, and songwriting were primarily handled by D'Angelo, who employed both vintage recording equipment and modern electronic devices.
The title track of D'Angelo’s debut album is not a love song about a dark-skinned woman-even though it may seem that way at first listen. He’s actually professing his love for marijuana in the same personification style Rick James used for his 1978 classic, Mary Jane. D'Angelo’s debut single peaked at on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, as well as receiving a Grammy nomination in 1996 for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. He said, Hold up. Can we sit with this for a second? Maybe another fifteen minutes went by before he finally went into the booth and started doing the backgrounds, and that’s how the title track, Brown Sugar, came to be. It was like it was too good to be true, because that song came out of twenty minutes and a mistake. You have to realize, at the time, nothing else had that sound.
Brown Sugar" is a song by American recording artist D'Angelo, taken from his debut album, of the same name. The song was released as the album's lead single in 1995, through the Cooltempo label. The song was written and produced by D'Angelo and frequent collaborator Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Opened by falsetto ad-libs, an organ refrain and pulsating bass lines, the title track "Brown Sugar" features a dark, thick texture and a gutbucket-jazz style and rhythm.

With his debut album, Brown Sugar, the 21-year-old D'Angelo crashed down some of those barriers. D'Angelo concentrates on classic versions of soul and R&B, but unlike most of his contemporaries, he doesn't cut and paste older songs with hip-hop beats; instead, he attacks the forms with a hip-hop attitude, breathing new life into traditional forms. Not all of his music works - there are several songs that sound incomplete, relying more on sound than structure.
