I don't care for the song or video. Saadiq should be capable of better solo work but he continues to put out this psuedo throw back stuff that is derivative and boring.

I like him, anniversary is a classic. It feels good is great. It never rains. I mean dude is bad.m...HE CAN'T SING GOOD THOUGH. HE'S NOT A GOOD SINGER. His voice is weak. I like the song but he doesn't have the voice. There's a reason people were writers back in the day. You had to be special and if you weren't but talented at creation, a special person sung your songs. A lot of folks from the 80's had really weak voices. What happened? Like a generation of music buyers all became tone deaf... oh I'm betting it was videos...the bungles were right.

I like the video and the song. The video reminds me something like Janet's "Got Till It's Gone" video...like a retro juke joint type vid. I don't think there's anything wrong with the video or the song...the only song I've disliked from him so far off is "Radio".

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I like the song. It just needs an extra 'something' - some little turnaround where it changes chord, a bit like the "When you believe in things you don't understand" section in Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'. Or some cool lead line, or something. That's sort of how I felt about 'Radio', too: I liked it, but I wanted something that made it stand out from the crowd to grab me. Still looking forward to the album, nonetheless.

P.S. Nice to see his very cute backing singer finding her way into this video. I'm still feeling her more in this clip, though.

hmmm still trying to decide if I like this song.I like the retro R&B feel of it,but I don't know....maybe I need to listen to it a few more times.So far,it hasn't grabbed me.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of the the album,though.His last album 'The Way I See It' was excellent.
