Track:The Way I see It
Raphael Saadiq's new album, The Way I See It, is a love letter to Motown circa 1964-1966, and it's a delight. From the infectious "Sure Hope You Mean It," to the gorgeous "Staying In Love," this is music made by an artist that's using the soul revival not to jump on a bandwagon, but as an access to make the music he really loves. There's no new ground broken here, but who cares, when it's done this well. Where the Dap-Kings retro-soul occasionally feels academic, The Way I See It simply shines, especially on further listens. Recommended.
