Always creating a unique bridge between the ancient and the modern, Raphael Saadiq's newest album "Stone Rollin" has officially been released and as always, we've attached the standout tracks that are currently itsnotyouitsme favorites.
In case you may have forgotten kiddas, Raphael is a Grammy Award winning producer, songwriter and singer. He's used his multi-talented musicianship skills on other artists including the man himself, Mick Jagger.
With a new single entitled, "Radio", which you can view for your pleasure right below, features one of many similar sounding tracks feeding a throwback feel with music elements deriving from early rock n' roll blues/soul/pop/alternative melodies.
Always demonstrating a happy-go-lucky appeal to his musique, even though at times his lyrics may depict quite the contrary, one things most certain, an electric upbeat sound like his previous album, "The Way I See It", solidifies this gentleman's musical position as one of the greateast of his generation.
Raphael's musique has a timeless quality feel to it. The rousing sounds of a big-band horn section or the dreamy like sounds when he wails in his falsetto range, send me in a state of musical combustion every time. I may have recently been penned the 22nd century golden ear and eye for both musique and fashion by those I adore and admire like industry insiders and fans alike, but it is this man featured that holds the golden finger which gives me the fuel to keep this vehicle burning of pure heart and soul.
