Raphael Saadiq has continuously rejuvenated and reshaped aspects of traditional black music since his breakthrough with Tony! Toni! Toné!'s "Little Walter" (1988). In retrospect, that number one R&B/hip-hop hit -- with its modern sound and clever incorporation of the melody from the spiritual "Wade in the Water" -- seems like a statement of intent that has guided the stylish retro-contemporary singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer throughout a discography of tremendous depth. As the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Tony! Toni! Toné! wound down in the mid-'90s, Saadiq eased into a second life as an all-purpose collaborator. He didn't get around to making his first solo album, Instant Vintage (2002), until after hits with D'Angelo ("Lady," "Untitled"), Lucy Pearl ("Dance Tonight"), and Bilal ("Soul Sista"). Since winning a Grammy shortly thereafter as a co-writer of Erykah Badu's "Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)," Saadiq has balanced commissioned work and solo projects, alternating between high achievements beside peers and inspirations and imaginative throwback LPs such as the Top 20 hits The Way I See It (2008) and Stone Rollin' (2011), and Jimmy Lee (2019).
