Review
Raphael Saadiq truly knows how to get down and GROOVE. His show for the now infamous "NUITS ZEBREES" parties by Radio NOVA at the Bellevilloise in Paris was a massive hit. The place was completely "souled out" with a french audience that was having an unusually VIBRANT and JOYFUL day! His music & the show's vibe fit his wardrobe: classy, oldschool, and oozing sensuality. Killer show.

Raphael Saadiq, véritable représentant de la vibe et du groove en ce début d’année 2009, ne pouvait que faire un carton lors de la très réputée Nuit Zébrée de Radio Nova à la Bellevilloise. Plus qu’un carton, il a, avec le concours de son band, fait swinguer tous les parisiens venus ce soir là. Sa musique est à l’image de son style vestimentaire : classe, old school et puissamment sexy !
Artist info

Raphael Saadiq

He is a standard bearer for what folks call ‘old school’ music, a contemporary artist continuing a time-honored tradition that goes back to the ‘60s and ‘70s. From his early days as a member of the groundbreaking ‘80s group Tony! Toni! Toné! through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, John Legend among many others and his own solo albums, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq has kept the faith. “Every record I’ve ever made has had those influences…The Temptations, Al Green, The Four Tops and so on,” Raphael explains from the L.A. studio where he recorded his latest illustrious work. This album is the culmination of a life time of experiences informed by the music i grew up on."
