Glowing 'Global Soul & Rock'n'Roll feel'!

'After having so much fun out there touring, I really wanted to make an album that I could go out and play.' So Raphael Saadiq recorded the driving, keen, super-funky ‘Stone Rollin': a CD that makes you want to dance and sing, from beginning to end, and makes you yearn for the live versions!
Do you know this American hyper-performer as support-act to Lenny Kravitz? Were you recently in the sold-out Depot in Leuven? Or that first time in the AB in March 2009? Did you know that the stylish Mister Saadiq is a fan of Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Little Walter, Sly Stone? You do know that on his latest CD he, again, did much more than ardently sing: production, guitar, bass, Mellotron, keys, percussion, drums? And that on the album there was also room for Yukimi from Little Dragon and Larry from Earth, Wind & Fire?
Then we'll just mention a few other pertinent Raphael Saadiq facts: You can still sing along to 'Love That Girl' and can hear respect for The Temptations, Al Green, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips. He was quick to tour with Prince on his Parade tour. He already scored with Tony! Toni! Tone! And afterwards there was Lucy Pearl with that fresh 'Don't Mess With My Man'. And he's highly favoured as producer too, see: great work for Macy Gray, Joss Stone, Snoop Dogg, John Legend, TLC, Q-Tip...

Basically: Raphael Saadiq is funky, fun & chique!
