Raphael Saadiq Is Back With A Deeply Personal New Album

Album Cover Art

Sunday, September 1

Sunday on Soulsations, hear new music from Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Raphael Saadiq. Saadiq's new album Jimmy Lee was inspired by the circumstances surrounding the death of his older brother due to drug addiction. It's his first new album in eight years. Saadiq says this album is a little darker in its storytelling. It's described as "deeply personal." We'll hear the lead single "Something Keeps Calling Me."
