I like Raphael. This latest album is based on the Motown sound

Yeah and thats sorta why I don't like it. He decided to be the male duffy.

Influence is great, hijacking is not.

I understand what you're saying but I feel that's a really broad brush stroke of the album.

If you're looking for a track to test out I'd listen to "Never Going to Give you Up". If you don't like it after 2:00 minutes you won't like the rest. But give the first 2 minutes a solid listen.

I'm not a huge fan of the album overall but I enjoy Saadiq's ability to create something that sounds like it's from another era. An era that was popular two decades before he was even born.

I really like this one

Better than the MoTown rips

I've been meaning to download his albums for a while now and have never got round to it.
Downloading his first now.

Meh, not too impressed with the new album. Liked The Way I See It a lot better.

Haven't heard his older work, but the new album is great.
