Raphael Saadiq – Jimmy Lee [LP] + Something Keeps Calling (feat. Rob Bacon) [Video]

New music from musical renaissance man Raphael Saadiq via his latest opus, Jimmy Lee – a body of work that creative contributions from Brook D’Leau, Rob Bacon, Kendrick Lamar, Reverend E. Baker, Ernest Turner, and more. Standout cuts include the sobering and soulful “Something Keeps Calling” (which gets a video workup from director Elliott Sellers); a distantly burning and emotional album opener called “Sinner’s Prayer“; a soaring bit of rock-soul called “Rikers Island“; and my personal favorites “I’m Feeling Love” and “Glory to the Veins“. You can listen to (and buy) the album via the links listed below as well as catch up on the latest music and news from Saddiq by making sure that you’re connected to him via the social links listed below.

“Jimmy Lee is [Saadiq’s] passion project. Dedicating it to a brother lost to drugs, and three other dead siblings, the producer/frontman serves up a series of brutally honest, occasionally impressionistic meditations on addiction and loss, with just enough positivity leavening the sorrow and cynicism. There’s helplessness in his tales, but defiance in his ability to tell them.” – Damien Morris via TheGuardian.com
