I was flipping by Music Choice during the Glee marathon on Oxygen, when I came across Raphael Saadiq's latest effort "Good Man".
From the first note, the song reminds me Issac Hayes with "Walk on By" with its Stax like horns, strings and lush chugging moves with a dash of Hip Hop.
When Saadiq first left Tony, Toni, Tone, I like a lot of people expected great work from the TTT front man, but outside of his work with Lucy Pearl, Saadiq's solo efforts was inconsistent and at times disappointing.
However with the release of 2008's"The Way I See It", Saadiq created a winning formula by digging in the crates of Motown and creating an album that was loved by critics and fans around the world.
If "Good Man" is any indication, Raphael Saadiq's 21st century spin on 60'sand 70's soul should continue with the album "Stone Rollin’, due out in March.
