This is my first solo album of his.It's just okay
I listened to this song and thought it was just okay.Its almost hard to put into words how excellent of an artist Raphael Saadiq is.Saadiq himself is Instant Vintage.Published on October 4, 2005 by E.When I am in a good mood and want to listen to something mellow but not sleepy I just put this in enjoy it."Skyy, Can You Feel Me".Published on August 31, 2004 by G.What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?For more about music, check out our blog, Amazon Earworm, and our monthly newsletters, Amazon Delivers.Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?Is there any other feedback you would like to provide?Track your recent orders.You have no recently viewed items or searches.Look to the right column to find helpful suggestions for your shopping session.Complimentary Raphael Saadiq Ringtones.Listen to Raphael Saadiq now.Download Raphael Saadiq Ringtones Instantly to your Cell.Set : false,
