Raphael Saadiq good or bad?
i've loved him since toni tone tony/lucy pearl/ and then the 'Instant vintage' album which is one of my fav of all time. | |

Great.
sometimes he can lapse into run of the mill boring R&B, but overall i think he's great. instant vintage was a strong album and i think he has one of the most distinctive voices. did you know he has a new independent album coming out soon? | |

Good.
He's a great producer and songwriter. I enjoy a lot of his collaborations with contemporary artists like Kelis, D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Joi, etc. I heard he was purportedly in talks with Kelis to co-headline a US tour. Guess that never came into fruition? | |

Awesome! A rarity, too...a great producer that also plays instruments? What more could you ask for.  | |

What more could you ask for. damn right  but actually it's a sad thing we even have to ask for... this should be standard damit!  and I very well can remember the days when it was Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

He's the voice behind some of the best R&B ballads of the 1990's, including "It Never Rains In Southern California," "Lay Your Head on My Pillow" and "Anniversary," an all-time great ballad.

The new Raphael album 'As Ray Ray' is out in the UK already (27 Sep). I got mine sent through from play.com on Tuesday.
After 4 listens now, I would say that out of the 15 tracks at least 9 are excellent. Nothing as good as 'Skyy Can You Feel Me' or 'Excuse Me' though from 'Instant Vintage'. One of the weaker tracks is 'Rifle Love' with Lucy Pearl & TTT. Apparently it's the new single. There are definately some great songs & singles on the album, but IMO that's not one of them!!. The best track for me is Track 15, which is the hidden track & doesn't have a name. Some top basslines on the album, which is always good !!! All in all though, fans of Raphael Saadiq will not be disappointed. The Funk, the whole funk & nothin' but the funk, ya dig?! | |

Ya know...I never favored "Skyy, Can You Feel Me." 
But always liked the hidden tracks afterwards ("Gospeldelic" and "By And By") | |

No. Where is it available? It came out as a bootleg 12". Its about 10 minutes long. Yam Who are 2 two guys from UK who re-edit soul cuts & they enchance things every time. You can buy a ' best of Yam Who ' compilation via Piccadilly Records in Manchester on CD. I'd be surprised if you cant find it but if you get no joy let me know - you need to hear it man !! The Funk, the whole funk & nothin' but the funk, ya dig?! | |
