Raphael Saadiq: "Good Man"
While the previous single, "Radio," from Raphael Saadiq's forthcoming album sounded straight from a dusty Beach Boys tape, his latest track finds him dwelling in the much darker reaches of soul music. "Good Man" boasts a production reminiscent of that heard on Aloe Blacc's recent throwback release, Good Things, though Saadiq's track has an almost raw quality to it. There's something equally haunting and thrilling about this cut, even if it's killing me that I can't place who's providing the female vocals on here.
