Editorial Reviews
CD Description
Though Raphael Saadiq kicked around for much of the '90s, working as bassist, guitarist, and producer for everyone fromD'Angelo to the Bee Gees and contributing his own cuts to the soundtracks of such films as RIDE, BABY BOY, and HIGHER LEARNING, 2002's INSTANT VINTAGE is--incredibly enough--his first full-length solo album. The title of the album--and theinvolvement of such luminaries as Angie Stone and the aforementioned D'Angelo--should be a clue as to the sound here. While Saadiq fully avails himself of cutting-edge production and technology, he's more interested in Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye than in R. Kelly. While he doesn't wave his history-conscious tendencies like a flag, there's more melodicism and good old-fashioned soul to these tunes than you'll find of many contemporaneous R&B recordings.

Instant Classic
This is the R'n'b, Modern soul album of the year, combines the artistry of D'angelo with toe-tapping of Donnell Jones. This is an amazing album without a bad track, covers every spectrum of soul music, whilst still being inventive. BUY IT!
Excellent
Very very good album. Makes a refreshing change from a lot of the mediocre music that is around at the moment. Saadiq seems to have been around for lifetime, first with Tone Tone Tone, then Lucy Pearl, now finally on the solo tip.....seems to get better and better. One for a true music lovers collection. Very underated artist.....
simply beautiful
fantastically crafted soul and I wouldn't expect less from the ex tony toni tone star. Sometimes listening to the whole album can be a bit draining particularly with the weaker tracks towards the end but once you find a fantastic track you truely find a fantastic track. For me i would have to say bodyparts, be here (with the king of soul himself D'Angelo), excuse me (with angie stone), faithful and Can You Feel Me are my favourite and Make My Day is a great interlude track well worth the £!
