Saadiq tastefully ended the night with one of the top audience-requested tracks, “Still Ray” from 2002’s “Instant Vintage,” alongside the D.C.-native tuba player from the music video.Īs the 26-city tour rolls on, Saadiq is scheduled to return to what he still lovingly calls “Chocolate City” in May. Executive produced by Raphael Saadiq, BIGGER LOVE features collaborations. “Sometimes when I ride in my car around 2 o’clock in the morning and I’m listening to the Stevie Wonder station, they play some songs and I’m like, ‘OK, yeah, that’s me, that’s me, that’s me … damn, that’s me too!’” JOHN LEGEND RELEASES NEW ALBUM BIGGER LOVE. “I worked with some really talented musicians and friends who kind of helped me become who I am, and I’ve kind of put my 5% in their careers, too,” he said. He has been the genius pen behind numerous and timeless hit records, not only for himself but for other leading artists, including Total’s “Kissin’ You,” Solange’s Grammy-winning “Cranes in the Sky” and D’Angelo’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” another Grammy winner. Saadiq shared with the audience that he is often told by others how underrated he has been in the music industry and that he does not receive enough respect for his talent and creativity. The veteran musician and his accompanying band played hits such as “Dance Tonight” (Lucy Pearl), “Anniversary” (Tony! Toni! Toné!), “You Should Be Here” (w/ D’Angelo) and many more, before leading into newer tracks like “The World Is Drunk” and “Something Keeps Calling” from his new album.
