Does anyone have Rafael Saadiq's "Instant Vintage"???

If you do then what do you think of it?? wink

Personaly I LUV it, I picked it up last week and from hearing it right now I could tell that its very well produced LP comparing to the "Lucy Pearl" project. Not that "LP" is bad, its not LOL matta o' fact I luv it too but unlike 'Instant Vintage' it does have that raw sound ya know?? It sounded like "demo tapes" LOL and I won't be supriced if you told me that Rafael did that on purpose. I heard him talking a lot about how he loves the 'vinyl sound' and how he's trying to put it in his music.

Sad thang is its very OVER-LOOKED LP rolleyes but I couldn't care less. "Be there" is a very good choice of a 1st single, D'Angelo was cool LOL but I don't think he was ready 4 laying his vox in an over-produced track wink that shoulda been the 1st time he did that but hey not not bad 4 a start.

I love "Be There", "OPH", "People", "Faithfull" and "whats life like". The rest of the LP is mighty cool too, but you gon have to give me enough time so I could dig it. I was really sad when I heard his Angie Stone song "Excuse Me" with Calvin, the brotha ruiend the song big time. I was excited about it cuz I love Angie.

4got to mention, the arrangments are tight and I heard that he wanted to call it 'Gospeldelic' becoz of spiritual/religious reasons but somehow the label thought that "Instant Vintage" is more of a 'commercial' title wink
