Raphael Saadiq - “Still Ray”
Of course I have to be the one to pick something a little more mainstream, but I can’t help it. This is by far, one of my favorite love songs. Raphael Saadiq (of Tony Toni Tone fame) managed to produce a song that is full of paraodxes.
At first listen, “Still Ray” is a R&B song, but please listen closely. The song’s piano is a rip from Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.”, used in a way that I don’t think the doc ever expected. Then the melody of Raphael’s voice easily reminds you of good ol’ Smokey Robinson. And if that’s not enough, if some of the posts were good because they had a uke or a banjo, this one tops them all with a TUBA!! I kid you not.
Listen. Love it. Dance.
