I may be a little late to the dancefloor on this one, but I just can't get enough of Raphael Saadiq's "The Way I See It" CD (Columbia records, 2008). I bought this CD about 2 weeks ago and literally have not been able to stop listening. The vibe is pure 60's soul/Motown. Kinda a mix of Stevie Wonder/Smokey Robinson/David Ruffin/The Stylistics. It's a 10++++.
My parents were big 60s Motown fans and I heard this sound a lot growing up, so this CD is pleasantly familiar to me. Not just that, but the melodies and grooves are so damn funky & catchy.
If you're like me, and you're tired of all the over-produced, synthesized, vocoder garbage that passes for R&B today, do yourself a big favor and pick up this CD.
It's real.
