title: The Way I See It
text: Editorial Reviews Raphael Saadiq's album the Way I See It is satisfying for both old school heads and today's hip music buyers: his background as a musician, singer and songwriter is steeped in a love for R&B married with a commitment to making his own brand of expressive soul music. Born and raised in Oakland, California learned to play guitar, drums, and bass at the age of six, making the bass his preferred instrument. Singing with a professional gospel group by the time he was nine, Raphael's musical education encompassed classical music, '40s spirituals, hymns, Jazz plus R&B. from his early days as a member of the groundbreaking '80s group Tony! Toni! Toné!, through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, the Roots, Snoop Dogg, John Legend among many others and his own solo albums, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq has kept the faith.

title: Ray Ray
text: Editorial Reviews Out of print in the U.S. 2004 album from the former leader of Tony Toni Tone. Raphael Saadiq has never been one to walk the safe, highly traveled R&B roads. While his compositions, dating back to his days leading the successful trio Tony Toni Tone, have always been of the smoothly palatable R&B variety, they have certainly been somewhat unorthodox, and there has always been a Prince-like unpredictability to Saadiq's career. As Ray Ray opens with a perfectly true-to-form audio 'trailer,' which fades into the groove-funk introduction to the lead character, 'Ray Ray Theme.' Saadiq also cleverly brings together all of his musical projects, as Tony Toni Tone and Lucy Pearl join together on the catchy 'Rifle Love.' Raphael Saadiq is always willing to take chances, and usually, as on the captivating Ray Ray, his efforts bear sweet fruit.
