Breaking Bread:Raphael Saadiq





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.

Have A Very Merry Birthday Raphael Saadiq!!!



Raphael Saadiq is not only a singer, songwriter and record producer but Raphael has been a standard for ol'school R&B since his early days with the group Tony! Toni! Toné! He's produced and written songs for such artists as D'Angelo, Mary J. Blige, and John Legend.

Raphael Saadiq's latest critically acclaimed album, "The Way I See It", is not only a classic-favorite of mine, but it goes to show how organic and beautifully constructed an album can be amidst the musique industry and its condition it was under in those times (auto-tune and over produced records were the name of the game.) Released on September 16, 2008. It featured artists Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone and Jay-Z. This well deserved attention garnered the album 3 Grammy Award Nominations and voted Best Album on iTunes of 2008. For that, we salute you Mister Saadiq!
