Today's R&B artists don't do the genre justice. When an album is feature-heavy with mainstream rappers, and your lyrics have no depth then just being a singer shouldn't qualify that artist as a true soul/r&b artist. It's just pop-rap in a more mellow form. Raphael Saadiq, formally of Tony! Toni! Tone! is back for a long overdue release. It combines the best of soul from the late 60's and 70's, while keeping with the bass guitar vibes that have become a trademark for NuSoul. If you don't know much about Raphael Saadiq, you need to do some research. If you enjoy good music, regardless of what genre you prefer, then buy this album. If you appreciate a soulful love ballad that doesn't involve autotune, then you should buy this album. If you would like to conceive a child to the sound of music, well, then you should buy this album. |

Mmmm Brandon, I love this!! It really does sound like it could be straight out of the late 60's, which is wonderful. The guitar/drum are great and his voice is beautiful. I love that it is higher than I'm used too, but not nasally and annoying. I love his look too, retro-sexy. Not to mention he is a hottie :), I might have to invest in this.
