Album Review: Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See It

Tuesday September 16, 2008
Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See ItRaphael Saadiq has had a long and distinguished career in the world of music. From his beginnings in the 1980s as a member of the groundbreaking neo-soul trio Tony! Toni! Toné! to his work in the 1990s with the supergroup Lucy Pearl to his successes throughout this decade as a producer, singer and songwriter for himself and others, Saadiq has become something of a legend, albeit an underappreciated one. And on his latest solo album, The Way I See It, Saadiq adds a brilliant new chapter to his storied career. The album, released in the U.S. on Sept. 16, 2008, is easily one of 2008's best releases. For more details, check out the full review of Ray's The Way I See It.

Oops, my bad. The album did come out Sept. 16, not Sept. 23. Thanks for pointing it out. The correction has been made.

And on second thought, I think the album deserves 4.5 stars instead of just 4. :)
