Who won the Best R&B Album Grammy at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016?

D'Angelo and The Vanguard won the Best R&B Album Grammy at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016. They received the award for their album Black Messiah, released in December 2014.

Black Messiah marked D’Angelo’s long-awaited return after a 14-year gap following his 2000 album Voodoo. The record blended soul, funk, jazz, rock, and politically charged songwriting, earning widespread critical acclaim. The Vanguard served as the collaborative band behind the album’s dense, live-sounding arrangements.

The award was presented during the Premiere Ceremony on February 15, 2016, in Los Angeles. D’Angelo also won Best R&B Song for “Really Love,” making the ceremony especially significant for the artist. A common mix-up is confusing this category with Best Progressive R&B Album, which went to The Weeknd for Beauty Behind the Madness that same year. Best R&B Album recognized Black Messiah as the year’s leading traditional R&B album in its field.
