If you haven’t been keeping up to date with the R&B legend’s whereabouts, he released his first album in 14 years this past December. The last time D’Angelo performed on television was way back in 2012, and this time he’ll be joined by backing band The Vanguard.

Hosting the evening’s show will be Golden Globe-winner and Oscar-nominee J.K. Simmons, who himself has recently received critical recognition for his work in “Whiplash.” Nonetheless, it’s probably safe to say that D’Angelo will steal most of the spotlight in this one.
