As a longtime lover of Motown music, I was thrilled when this latest gem was passed to me from a member of my music obsessed circle. The sweet sounds of Raphael Saadiq are undeniable on his latest (2008) album 'The Way I see it' as Rolling Stone states "This California soul brother shows how we do it over here in America (opposed to the recent British wave of soul songstresses). With a supple tenor that glides up easily into Smokey Robinson territory, the former Tony! Toni! Toné! frontman has crafted a filler-free album that evokes classic Northern soul."
