Help with R&B song...

There is a mid-tempo song by a male... vocals sound like Raphael Saadiq or Stokley from Mint Condition. Something about love or I love her. NOT the I Love Her song from Raphael’s latest.

It’s slightly repetitive but has a great summer feel-good sound to it. I’ve searched through Raphael’s music but can’t find it unless it's from a soundtrack. There's no female vocalist so I don't think it's Lucy Pearl but never heard their second album.

Possibly someone else singing but don't know who. Oh and does not sound like the R&B stuff on radio.

No, I only heard it once. Just something about love in the chorus. I know that isn't much help.

It's from the last five years I think. Possibly seven. It didn't sound old. Maybe slightly neo-soulish for lack of a better term. There was a guitar presence. No particular producer signature. It really sounded like Raphael to me from vocal to production but I can’t fathom what the song could be. shrug

Did you see if it was on Raphael's Instant Vintage cd? You can listen to clips on amazon.

Could it be "Wanna Love You Girl" from Robin Thicke?

I know Robin inside and out, wasn't him. I checked Instant Vintage. Now wondering if it's a song that has a title that doesn't quite match. I was certain it was from As Ray Ray but no snippets to listen to.

Well what's even more embarassing is I have it at home. boxed I just don't know where it is. But I will recommend it. It's pretty good. I Want You Back, Rifle Love, Save Us, I Know Shuggie Otis, Chic are stand outs. Teedra Moses is the female vocalist on this one. Wonder what she's up to...

Thanks. I will locate it somewhere. I see on ebay it is running about $20 for it. I'll keep checking my 2nd hand stores for it.
