Fans mourning the loss of D’Angelo now have something meaningful to look forward to. The late R&B icon reportedly left behind a vault of unreleased music before his tragic death on October 14 at age 51, and according to Questlove, some of that long-coveted material will soon see the light of day. Speaking on the red carpet at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the Roots drummer revealed that a posthumous album is officially in the works. “You’ll see soon,” he said. “With him, it’s always the sound of yesterday but for the future. And this record is no different.”

Further details about the project point to a burst of creativity from D’Angelo in his final months. Raphael Saadiq—who worked closely with the Voodoo and Black Messiah visionary, shared last year that the singer was “in a good space” and actively recording new material. “He’s working on six pieces right now and he seems super excited,” Saadiq said, adding that D’Angelo was fully “in control of his own destiny.” He also teased that both he and Q-Tip will appear on the album through a previously unreleased song from their abandoned Lynwood Rose supergroup sessions.

The as-yet-untitled project will mark D’Angelo’s fourth studio album and his first release since 2014’s Black Messiah, which earned the Grammy for Best R&B Album. His death followed a private battle with pancreatic cancer, prompting an outpouring of tributes from peers and fans. In a heartfelt remembrance published in Rolling Stone, Questlove wrote: “D’Angelo, to me, was one of the last pure artists in Black music … I have to say, the last weeks with him were probably the best for our friendship.”
