Album Review
After more than 20 years in the music business, Tony! Toni! Toné! founder Raphael Saadiq has gotten around to offering his solo debut, Instant Vintage. The apropos title reflects the old-school style that Saadiq has adopted for the album. However, he dubs the type of music — a mix of samples, soul, gospel, and R&B — "gospedelic." Saadiq has called upon some of neo-soul's most popular artists to help out on Instant Vintage. Angie Stone makes an appearance on the opening dancefloor-worthy track, "Doing What I Can," which briefly tells the story of Saadiq's career. D'Angelo lends a hand on the funkified "Be Here." Traces of 3T seep into Instant Vintage. Lush orchestration, hook-laden, danceable melodies, and gospel influences are evident throughout the recording. This album should be renamed "Instant Classic."
Recent Customer Reviews
Loving it!!
by VerniyaAlways a fan of Raphael, I decided to purchase the album after hearing a few choice cuts on the radio. I love just about every song. All very powerful and beautiful. I lament that I didn't purchase this sooner and it's not getting the notoriety and publicity it deserves.

INstant Vintage
by Mama TunesAfter years of heavy rotation (to this day) in my car, the CD player must want to spit this out! It was an instant classic with the first listen. Even my kids love it. Raphael is a serious talent. This won't disapoint.
