Product Description

CD Description
Though Raphael Saadiq kicked around for much of the '90s, working as bassist, guitarist, and producer for everyone fromD'Angelo to the Bee Gees and contributing his own cuts to the soundtracks of such films as RIDE, BABY BOY, and HIGHER LEARNING, 2002's INSTANT VINTAGE is--incredibly enough--his first full-length solo album. The title of the album--and theinvolvement of such luminaries as Angie Stone and the aforementioned D'Angelo--should be a clue as to the sound here. While Saadiq fully avails himself of cutting-edge production and technology, he's more interested in Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye than in R. Kelly. While he doesn't wave his history-conscious tendencies like a flag, there's more melodicism and good old-fashioned soul to these tunes than you'll find of many contemporaneous R&B recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy is the best thing since Michael Jackson, 25 Jun 2002
Raphael Saadiq has finally made the frightening steps to become solo. From the brilliant Lucy Pearl he came, which makes it a hard task on beating the tunes he wrote and performed with such spark.
On first impressions i thought he hadn't I was looking for that lucy pearl style in his records. I could not really find it then i knew it would be one of those albums that you need to listen and listen to, to love it. The thing about this guy is he has not stuck to the lucy pearl style at all, he has made his own style which can only be to his outstanding talent that he posses. He calls the type of music on the album GOSPEL/DELIC which is very true as to me he has made a new type of music. It is very gospel especially in 'Blind Man' it could be by Al Green. There is quite alot of duets on this album, but it works he doesn't care about whether there big names its all on talent. The best one for me and probably the best track on the album is 'Skyy, can you feel me' with the beautiful vocals of Rosie Kaye, who is unknown to me, but as soon as she gets a album done i will be the first one to get it.
As I said before this album gets better and better everytime i listen to it. Ok if your getting this because your a lucy pearl fan, do but you won't be getting the same funky rhythms its a lot more soulful but still has the effect to blow you away at this guys incredible talent

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Classic, 29 Nov 2002
This is the R'n'b, Modern soul album of the year, combines the artistry of D'angelo with toe-tapping of Donnell Jones. This is an amazing album without a bad track, covers every spectrum of soul music, whilst still being inventive. BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 4 Jul 2002
By Mr. L. G. Mccalla (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very very good album. Makes a refreshing change from a lot of the mediocre music that is around at the moment. Saadiq seems to have been around for lifetime, first with Tone Tone Tone, then Lucy Pearl, now finally on the solo tip.....seems to get better and better. One for a true music lovers collection. Very underated artist.....
