Mark R Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My view, as printed in Xmas Soul Up North magazine....I'll get me tin hat!!: Raphael Saadiq Never Give You Up (US Columbia CD/LP "The Way I See It") Now then, those of you reading this that may be already familiar with this album will surely be thinking "has Randle lost the plot, only singling one cut out from this fine album?" Permit me to explain. It was clear from the late 80's, when Saadiq first appeared as part of Tony, Toni, Tone on Wing/Polydor Records, that he was a cut above and had that extra something. His work since as a solo artist has only served to reinforce that view. Only when he chooses to release this album of 60's influenced productions do certain factions of the UK soul fraternity decide he's worthy. So what we have is a situation where, for me as a follower of contemporary soul, as good as this album is I'm left disappointed as I would rather hear the man using his talent to take things forward. Yet those that care little for contemporary soul have gone for this. Do these talents have to do this to be accepted by "soul fans"? Answers on a postcard, but I hope it doesn't become the norm. I do fear it that it will though, as recently more artists have released material in this vein. The fact that this has also been released on 7 x 7" singles too says it all to me!! Regression ahead of progression or so it seems. Anyway, to the track in question: it's brilliant, features some bloke Stevie Wonder on harmonica, and is singled out here as the cut that I believe will appeal most to those of similar musical persuasion to I. Check the album out to see if it suits your taste, don't misunderstand me, it is top quality at what it attempts to do. Cheers, Mark R

Cheers, Mark R I take your point but from my own pesonal view i just like it & maybe he just wanted to make this album at this time & it'll be something a lot different next time.

Roger Williams Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I take your point but from my own personal view i just like it I think if there was ever any one simple definitive statement to be made about it all, the scene, genres, style, format etc. etc., that can't really be argued with, that would be it.
