Raphael is the founder of the critically acclaimed group Tony Toni Tone. This Neo-Soul R&B group sold over 6 million records worldwide and helped pave the way for artists such as D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Jill Scott.

And so now, are you ready for a new spin on the phrase “Lights, Camera, Action”? The ever-innovative Raphael Saadiq is about to flip it into something along the lines of “Bass, Treble, BOOM” when he drops his second solo studio album, RAPHAEL SAADIQ AS RAY RAY. The Grammy®-winner promises the new album will bring ghetto cinematic flair to modern R&B, including a cover concept inspired by Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier’s `70s classic, 'Uptown Saturday Night' (with a photo of Saadiq - wearing vintage clothes - standing in front of a `67 white convertible Cougar)!

So, there’s plenty of fun to go along with the funk!
