De carrière van Raphael Saadiq is alles behalve conventioneel. Van succesvolle groepsprojecten als Lucy Pearl en Toni!Tony!Toné! tot een bescheiden, doch indrukwekkende loopbaan als producent en soloartiest. Stone Rollin’ is zijn nieuwste aanwinst.
Vintage touches and modern twists combine on an irrepressible soul record.
It’s always nice to hear a soul singer who genuinely revels in the job title, and Raphael Saadiq has taken his responsibilities seriously for some 20 years now: first as one third of the nu-soul vocal trio Tony! Toni! Toné!, then as a solo singer. Each manifestation has been hugely successful, confounding expectations to take inherent soulfulness in any direction possible. Stone Rollin’ continues that approach, with a vintage rhythm & blues eclecticism that puts you in mind of early P-Funk’s musical hyperactivity, when artists messed about with whatever black music took their fancy and turned it into their own.
