Producer Spotlight: Raphael Saadiq

-
I consider Raphael Saadiq to be one of the more underrated producers in the game. He has been in the business for many years starting from his beginnings from the group; Tony! Toni! Tone! Collectively that group has had many hits including "Anniversary", "Lay Your Head On My Pillow", and "Little Walter".

Eventually he would change his surname to Saadiq and began his successful production career. That also led to him jump starting the group, Lucy Pearl which featured En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson. Along the way Raphael has produced for many urban artists from Kelis to Teedra Moses to Joss Stone to Mary J. Blige. You will learn of some of the songs he's produced below.

Raphael was born in Oakland, California. At one time he dated singer Joss Stone and produced some cuts for several of her albums. I bet she didn't pay for those tracks!

Check out Raphael's extensive discography below:

  • 2 Way, Ginuwine
  • Ain't Nobdy Worryin', Anthony Hamilton
  • Attention, Glow - Kelis
  • Better Man, Musiq
  • Big 'Ol Game, Joss Stone
  • Brotha, Angie Stone
  • Can't Get Enough, WillieMax
  • Come To Me, Kenny Lattimore
  • Dance Tonight, Lucy Pearl
  • Don't Worry, Chingy
  • Do You Think About Us?, Total
  • Ecstacy, Jaguar Wright
  • Fat Joe's In Town, Fat Joe
  • Fine, Whitney Houston
  • Get Involved, Q-Tip
  • How Does It Feel?, D'Angelo
  • I Found My Everything, Mary J. Blige
  • Knock Knock, Truth Hurts

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
