This album is hit after hit from start to finish. No skips. It’s 10 years old! – and was ahead of the times to come, all while paying homage to the roots and classic sounds of the 60’s & 70’s.

“ Raphael Saadiq did a spot-on impression of Motown circa 1965, defying retro-soul's bias for Seventies babymaking mush. Some have called Stone Rollin' his Electric Ladyland.
