![]() ![]() Songs without a credit belong to Tony! Toni! Toné!.Ģ. In this list I’ve omitted contributions to other artists. Better was 2011’s Stone Rollin’, in which Saadiq took to the Mellotron and created a beguiling synthesis of psychedelic rockabilly and the Ohio Players. Many colleagues loved The Way I See It retro stylings more than I did its buoyancy and joy in performance distinguished it from other such moribund exercises, but, really, I didn’t need stabs at the Holland-Dozier-Holland sound in 2008. Classicists live or die on fealty to canonicity, so Saadiq has occasionally fumbled. Blige, Solange, and his own solo albums and the Lucy Pearl project, he has sustained a career marked by gentle steps forward. From his work with seminal R&B act Tony! Toni! Toné! to his collaborations with D’Angelo, Mary J. A songwriter-producer of exceptional fluidity and fluency, Raphael Saadiq is one of music’s most fecund talents.
