In 2019, D’Angelo allowed fans an intimate look into his life — the indelible highs and complicated lows — through the lens of his documentary , Devil’s Pie .

Named after a record from his second album, Voodoo , the Carine Bijlsma-directed film is full of archival anecdotes and behind-the-scenes moments as he prepared for his return in tandem with the release of his 2014 album, Black Messiah — which was described on Letterboxd as the “soundtrack of the lost years.”

The documentary isn’t currently available to stream, but there are links
