D’Angelo is hard at work on a new album, according to friend and collaborator Raphael Saadiq.

The R&B legend shared the news while appearing on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, where he revealed that D is back in the studio and excitedly crafting new material.

“D’s in a good space,” said Saadiq, who began working with D’Angelo almost 30 years ago. “He’s excited. He’s like, ‘You gotta play bass. I’ve got this track. I’m telling you, you got to get on it. It got your name all over it.’”
