Music news Raphael Saadiq plays Sugarhill on Thursday, Oct. 2
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 9:23 PM
After two decades spent oozing soulful licks (bass and lead vocals) all over Tony! Toni! Toné!'s greatest hits, and producing projects for the likes of D'Angelo, the Roots and Joss Stone, Raphael Saadiq should finally be able to shake that nagging "neo" prefix for good. His third solo release, The Way I See It, is classic in every sense of the genre. Fueled by the sound of Motown-era swing and the Oakland, Calif., native's occasional falsetto, the CD proves Amy Winehouse producer Mark Ronson hasn't stolen the soul after all. Prepare for something resembling a throwback soul revue when he hits Sugarhill's stage tomorrow night. $25. 9 p.m. Sugarhill. 404-658-0068. www.sugarhillatl.com. Purchase tickets at ticketalternative.com, Mood's Music and Marco's Pita.
