Here is some new music from multi-talented Raphael Saadiq’s newest project, “The Way I See it”.  “The way I see it” is due September 16th on Columbia Records.

Saadiq says that his inspiration for the album was “cooling out and surfing in Costa Rica and The Bahamas, I ran into people from all kinds of places. I noticed everybody was listening to classic soul music. When I came back home the music for this album flowed organically, naturally. Since I have my own studio, I was able to perfect it, take my time to make it right. I was able to live with it, day after day and that had a lot to do with how the album turned out.”
