Soul singin'

Raphael Saadiq at Ram's Head--Monday, March 23, 2009

What's the deal with all this neo soul all of a sudden? Where'd that neo come from?

Forget the unstable remixed divas... close your eyes on this one and you're like, "is that Stevie?"

Smart marigold suit, skinny tie, thick black glasses. Mmm, mmm. Songs almost exclusively about love or lovin', sweet little choreographed shimmies, and finger-snapping backup singers.

Raphael Saadiq is straight soul.

Listen here.
