I couldn’t have been more excited to hear a follow up to Saadiq’s The Way I See It. Enter, Radio, off his upcoming album, Stone Rollin’. The album will release March 22nd. What’s so fantastic, is the nostalgic, R&B Rock & Roll Sound to this track. I wasn’t sure Saadiq could reach the heights he got to on The Way I See It, hearing this gets me awfully excited to hear more, its fun and has a classic vibe with a little bit of a modern twist. http://www.raphaelsaadiq.com/
