Christopher Boyle He should make the video just a little more current and the words also. If you want to see a throw-back video, just plug in a Motown classic. I love his vibe, just make it relevent!!
Delphi Music Group He needs to be more relevent to sell albums. I love the real old school, but current songs can have that vibe, but should also be relevent to sell.
I love the way he does this song! This is Real Talent and the black and white video is classic at its best and people should use this technique more often!
Love these vintage sounds that Mr. Saadiq brings! Can't get no better soul in the 21st century then this! I will hope R&B someday evolves back to this style, instead of the club-ready crap that's out now.
Mr. Saadiq...I see you will be in your hometown of the misunderstood Oakland,. Vs at the end of Feb 2020...happy bday to miss badu as well, My hubby is a leap year baby and actually gets to celebrate the 29th! May I ask if it's possible to attend your show as part of his gift?? Or if there are any opportunities to meet you personally? You never know unless you ask right???🎧🎼🎼🎵🎹
This song is so fun but the lyrics are terrible. Give away the 'money shot' of the song in the first verse? *eyeroll* If they really wanted to mimic a cool sly 60s feel, they would have put more lyric in their lyrics. Then he talks about love with her when at the start of the song he talks about I just say you and want to have sex. Come on!
Back in the day, there was The Ziegfeld Follies. Now, we have, Saadiq's Follies or Bollywood's Follies. No matter. The follies back in the day have nothing on Saadiq's Follies, not even, The Rockettes. Yes, he is smooth. But, can he keep up, if offers were to come his way?! I love the up beat tempo. The music and style of the roaring 20's & 30's should be brought back. Particularly, The Gatsby era or Peaky Blinders. What do you think out there?! Love his music. ❤👍🎆🥰😍 m.t.lopez
lmao, this shits hilarious! "i need some sex, some sex witchu!" lmao, love it! that sounds like solange singing the "walk, walk outside" part.. instant vintage!
He has huge swag. That's why I picked my boyfriend because he has SWAG......oh my goodness kellum Wade and toni Harris thx baby your swag us great I see uuuuu❤️.
Big problem I have while watching this is the torture I can't take that walk with him too. Only Raphael Saadiq can ultimately get away with a performance like this! Now that's show business on stage.
Oh so were going outside Raphael Saadiq walking out in the cold well that's nice to know. You better hold me tight and close to keep me warm. You better keep wrapped up in your arms.
@chica84babe Actually since he is doing this old Motown feeling kinda music, back in the day songs were at least 2 minutes and 45 seconds...only when Issac Hayes make a song to 4:30 which was the first long length...I forgot the name but we watched a documentary in class on the songs during the Black Civil Rights Movement and other subjects.
It so seems like the girls dancing are enjoying to it. Some of em have so much enthansium (hmmmm how do u spell that) in the dance. Yea he did say sex in the beginning but at least he came out with the truth....it sounds like they are at a club or lounge or bar and ppl r dancing bt he loves what he sees from her.
Ok, you were obviously born in the wrong era (lucky for us). Will you marry me and we could give birth to some adorable lil musical notes and adopt a couple of wayward dance moves and live happily ever after. You're a musical genious, love u
When you listen to all the lyrics of the song, he's propositioning for sex in his car. He managed to hide a raunchy message within a beautifully written song. The song hypnotizes you with the rhythm until you reallllly listen...lol
I'm really lovin' Raphael, Since his days back w/ Tony,Toni,Tone'! Wish the group would get back together. But I still luv ya all the same Raph. I mean who can hear this and not say the same? IT'S JUST SO GROOVEY BABE....
If someone asked R-Kelly how he thought about: Raphael, he would like him. No comparisons, but they both did the 60's style music updated, & both did fantastic. Both are the man, but Raphael has my vote.

@Streamline09 Yeah I agree the opening lyrics are crude and don't like that anf actually find it doesn't really fit with the rest of the song and video. But the rest was fabulous.

He is effortlessly smooth
YESSSSSSSSS
Agree ❤
Make me think of that old Motown sound! Wow he can do it all..I took a walk and it was a grand time had by all!
Saadiq so underrated.
+Lee Graham Yep. They like someone who beats up his Girlfriend like Chris Brown yet they ignore a Artist like this.
I think you're right
laminage idiotic to pit one artist against another. Idiotic.
It's not that, it's just Raphael is so good but he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
So true,
He looks like David Ruffin from the Temptations
purplelove010 You know you are so right on. Great observation.
yes he does!
Absolutely!
His FINE Ass!!!!!
that was his inspiration for this album
Kudos to this guy for bringing back and staying true to a classic style of music.
Christopher Boyle He should make the video just a little more current and the words also. If you want to see a throw-back video, just plug in a Motown classic. I love his vibe, just make it relevent!!
He absolutely nails old school motown.
The bridge sounds like "I heard it through the grapevine"...by my man Mr. Marvin Gaye
only problem that I have with this song: its too short
Jeff Price those poor girls would have passed out from exhaustion. 😏
Just like the old school songs.
Right
🫶🏼
love this! nothing better than discovering new music that grabs you within seconds.
Could not have put it better myself !!!!
Those background vocals!!! MOTOWN NASTALGIA!!
When I hear this song I want to drink a glass of wine and dance lightly
but only lightly!
He has his own swagger that just transcends generations ..his voice is so pure and un filtered...
nedra mathis yes I agree
Versatility is this man's middle name.
Just as good as 50s 60s classics
the most unappreciated artist ever
The Way I See It.... This is surely Rafael Saadiq's finest! No brags....just the facts! Listen & enjoy! I still do! Holla!
Sounds so sweet and innocent, yet the lyrics say it all...so sweetly
song is about sex, its smooth, sweet, but innocence is definitely out the window haha Damn Raphael is amazing
looking like David Ruffin lolz.. I love this song and Raphael always had this amazing style about him!!
YAAAAASSSS! He has that vibe!
Not even Justin Timberlake or even Robin Thicke could do what he did.
Where is Raphael Saadiq??? New album pleeease!
+Delphi Music Group "Raphael"
Delphi Music Group He needs to be more relevent to sell albums. I love the real old school, but current songs can have that vibe, but should also be relevent to sell.
Delphi Music Group it’s here
I love the way he does this song! This is Real Talent and the black and white video is classic at its best and people should use this technique more often!

Amazing how you utilize every music genre...
Mr. Saadiq...I see you will be in your hometown of the misunderstood Oakland,. Vs at the end of Feb 2020...happy bday to miss badu as well,
My hubby is a leap year baby and actually gets to celebrate the 29th!
May I ask if it's possible to attend your show as part of his gift??
Or if there are any opportunities to meet you personally?
You never know unless you ask right???🎧🎼🎼🎵🎹
Bringing back music that speaks to the soul...
I love how Raphael brought back that old sound. During that time I got so sick of singers singing over rap beats.
He does look like David Ruffin😀
The only thing I dislike is how short this song is!! Love it :D
luke cage
Intro reminiscent of Smokey Robinson's "Going To A Go-Go" ,at slower tempo. 60's Motown feel,for sure!
He reminds me of Stevie Wonder because of his sound.
I agree 👌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
Might just be one of the smoothest to ever do it. And i cherish the fact that they made a video to do the era of origin honors. 🤝✌️
Raphael Saadiq is just incredible
It's like Steve urkel got some soul. Oooo dayumnnnn
This dude.... he has been the best out there for years
He understands multiple genre and period/era music. I call him a music historian! Truly underrated!
This song is so fun but the lyrics are terrible. Give away the 'money shot' of the song in the first verse? *eyeroll* If they really wanted to mimic a cool sly 60s feel, they would have put more lyric in their lyrics. Then he talks about love with her when at the start of the song he talks about I just say you and want to have sex. Come on!
Pop music with real talent! BRAVO, Raphael Saadiq! I love the sound.
+Green Man This isn't pop, boo :D
can be, why not?
of course it is. This is absolutely the epitome of 50s/60s pop.
this is soul
Nah that's R&B/SOUL!!! NOTHING WATERED DOWN ABOUT THIS JAM!!! POP IS THE WATERED DOWN VERSION OF R&B/SOUL
Real music, not that electronica noise. Autotune not welcome.
I love the whole performance
Priceless 🩷🩷🩷
Looks like David Ruffin.
My girlfriend showed me you....she loves you...and so now do I.
Thumbs Up if you don't give a fuck how someone got here and you're just admiring the damn music.
We need more singers like this now a days. He's AWESOME.
This izzz the SHIIIIIIT ( can't think of anything else to explain what i feel while listening to this song).
In Scotland we get fuckin ginger hair and bagpipes .The USA gets Raphael Saadiq.
God you lot are so lucky.
*swoon* 😍😍😍
He just got down to business right away didn't he
Raphael Saadiq , relembrando os bons tempos da MOTOW RECORDS.
When you need to take a walk but please her at the same time😮😅1:49
Sm00th like a madurfukar! Sm00th like James.
so thats where R. Kelly is getting his new style "when a woman loves" from
It's like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye mixed up, but Raph got his own style.
Superbe.. j'adore cet artist!
Delphine G i
so fresh, so much rhythm, so old school, love this!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE SAADIQ!!!!!
2019🎸🎼🎵🎶🎤📻🎙️🎸
A return to when urban music still had soul. Love this.
Let's take a walk outside.
I know that's right.!!!😊
Back in the day, there was The Ziegfeld Follies. Now, we have, Saadiq's Follies or Bollywood's Follies. No matter. The follies back in the day have nothing on Saadiq's Follies, not even, The Rockettes. Yes, he is smooth. But, can he keep up, if offers were to come his way?! I love the up beat tempo.

Love this!!! So refreshing- a mix of great 'old school' and something new.
I can't believe it David Ruffin is back from the dead
Que navideño!!
Parecen las burbujas de freixenet
Well that was blunt lol
hahaha i was like o_O..at least he was honest
nad7cha the sex part 😂😂😂😂
Blindspotting (the series) led me here
I can't wait to take a walk with Frank!
This is fantastic !!!! has that classic early 60s feel !!
lmao, this shits hilarious! "i need some sex, some sex witchu!" lmao, love it! that sounds like solange singing the "walk, walk outside" part.. instant vintage!
i love that this genre is coming back again. awesome!
Thumbs up if Raphael Saadiq brought you here!
there's nothing quite like a cool black man
Wait a minute awesome he got to be from my generation yessirr let take a walk,still listening radio2019 Anthony Mann keep this music here
Lourd 👍
This is nice right here!!!
-Nice song with a 1967 Motown song's music backing it. Play this & then play 1967's 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' by Marvin Gaye.
That's real music, folks!
He has huge swag. That's why I picked my boyfriend because he has SWAG......oh my goodness kellum Wade and toni Harris thx baby your swag us great I see uuuuu❤️.
Just don't listen to this and Marvin Gaye's "Pride and Joy" back-to-back.
I was thinking Marvin's version of "Heard It Through The Grapevine."
We need more of him out there.
this is how its done bruno mars
Still🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Big problem I have while watching this is the torture I can't take that walk with him too. Only Raphael Saadiq can ultimately get away with a performance like this! Now that's show business on stage.
Pharrell reminds me of Raphael sometimes.
Oh so were going outside Raphael Saadiq walking out in the cold well that's nice to know. You better hold me tight and close to keep me warm. You better keep wrapped up in your arms.
One of the best songs ever! 🔥🔥🔥
I love this and this artist is remarkable!
Oh, will you looka here!Raphael's girlfriend is Marilyn Monroe.Well, don't wind up in a g-string.
I love that he and some of the others are bring the 60' style back. Hopefully it will rub on the youths of today.
@chica84babe Actually since he is doing this old Motown feeling kinda music, back in the day songs were at least 2 minutes and 45 seconds...only when Issac Hayes make a song to 4:30 which was the first long length...I forgot the name but we watched a documentary in class on the songs during the Black Civil Rights Movement and other subjects.

I'd say he's a throwback to Motown but he's a little more direct in his lyrics. No subtlety.
Raphael Saadiq : reburth of real R&B and really great soul.
Amasing !

His moves are soooo smooth and cool ! ! !
@starwinmarwin They're not all white. They are in all white though...and the camera is making everything lighter; like those old times from long ago.
