Untitled (How Does It Feel)
"Untitled (How Does It Feel)" is a song by American recording artist D'Angelo, released January 1, 2000 on Virgin Records in the United States. It was issued as a radio single in promotion of his second studio album, ''Voodoo'' (2000). Written and produced by D'Angelo and Raphael Saadiq, the song was originally composed as a tribute to musician Prince. "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" contains a vintage style and sound similar to that of Prince's early musical work. The song's lyrics concern a man's plea to his lover for sex.
The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics and it earned D'Angelo a number of awards. "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" also earned notice for its controversial music video. Directed by Paul Hunter and Dominique Trenier, the video consists entirely of one shot featuring a muscular D'Angelo appearing nude and lip-synching to the track. While initial reaction from viewers was divided with praise for its sexuality and accusations of sexual objectification, the video received considerable airplay on music video networks such as MTV and BET, and it helped increase mainstream notice of D'Angelo and ''Voodoo''.
The music video for "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" had a considerable impact on D'Angelo's recording career, as it helped engender an image of him as a sex icon to a younger generation of fans. However, his discontent with this image led to his period of absence from the music scene following the conclusion of the supporting tour for ''Voodoo''. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 43rd Grammy Awards in 2001. ''Rolling Stone'' magazine named "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" the fourth best single of 2000. The magazine later named it the fifty-first best song of the 2000s (decade).
== Background and recording ==
"Untitled (How Does It Feel)" was originally intended as a tribute to influential musician Prince.〔 The song evokes Prince's earlier work, in particular his balladry, from his ''Controversy'' period, as well as his musical style and falsetto vocal technique.〔Thompson, Ahmir 'Questlove'. "(Review: ''Voodoo'' )". ?uestcorner/Okayplayer: 1999. Archived from (the original ) on 2008-08-09.〕〔Columnist. (Review: ''Voodoo'' ). ''Rocky Mountain Collegian''. Retrieved on 2009-06-04.〕 As an homage to the musician, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, record producer for ''Voodoo'', described the song as "finding the line between parody and honesty ... In an era of 'the cover song', redoing a Prince song was taboo. This is the second best thing".〔 Production of the song was handled by D'Angelo and fellow neo soul musician Raphael Saadiq, who also contributed with bass and musical arrangements during recording in 1999.〔Track listing and credits as per liner notes for ''Voodoo'' album〕 The session took place at Electric Lady Studios, the recording studio originally built by influential rock musician Jimi Hendrix.〔Columnist.
