Raphael Saadiq ‎– Stone Rollin'

Underrated album imo. I think Ray doesn’t get enough credit in the music industry! He is easily one of the most talented gentlemen of the last 30 years

This is an amazing album. Modern soul done perfectly. I'm a little bummed we haven't heard more from him these past few years. This LP does seem to lack a bit in terms of sound, but I think that was an intentional artistic decision to go with a slightly lo-fi vibe--and it fits the music just fine.

This is one of the top albums of the decade.

What more does this guy have to do to be noticed?!?!??! I am a lost of words....In fact I really don't know what to say about this Masterful album. While others from his era have faded and gone (or became part of the oldies curcuit), Raphael continues, not just to challege himself, but us as well. I mean seriously, who else in mordern R&B (and I mean the cats that can be played on the radio) throws out all the updated rules of music, and defiantly continues to play only to his muses hoping to gain respect for it. Well, here you go in a nutshell, Raphael's ability to bring the old and keep it new is nothing short of stunning!! And let's make no mistake, he's been doing this since Tony Toni Tone'.

USA release is pressed or mastered for vinyl horribly. Heads up before buying the vinyl. I was excited to get a copy for "the answer" and really falls flat.
