I have always loved his voice and sound. He’s been sexy for a minute. I wonder if he’s still w/Joss Stone???

Saadiq is a force to be reckoned with. He’s such a great talent, and I totally agree with whomever said that he’s often underated, but not this time ya’ll. I think that with the support of Columbia Records, and the consumers being thirsty for change….he’s gonna finally get what he deserves. I need to go and find my Instant Vintage CD too.

Now this dude has more talent in his pinky finger than 97% of the soul/r&b cats today.

That’s my boy right there! The song is dope. It shows REAL talent, not that same old cookie cutter pro tools-enhanced R & B sh*t that gets played on the radio 24/7.

This is real cool. I love his style. He always brings something different from the table, and his music doesn’t sound dated. You can play them years from now and it will sound fresh. Some of these generic R&B artists need to take notes. I wonder if he’s still working with Teedra Moses. I would love to hear a new album from her.

he and Jennifer Hudson must be tripping. I dont think anyone is interested in that disco stuff. Lots of luck to him. But he needs to join his group Toni, Tony, Tone again and put out some real music.

[...] This snippet of “100 Yard Dash” proves just how much a potent lyricist Raphael is: My heart is pumping but still running in place. But this line has to be my favorite by far: I feel your love like a monkey on my back. After I heard this quirky line, I immediately fell in love with the song. Make sure you go to Pookie’s myspace and tell him SoLowe sent cha! [CL] [...]
