Album Review:Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin'

During the past few years, we've witnessed hints of great soul music returning with Janelle Monae, Shawn Lee, The Heavy, Toro Y Moi, and now with this fantastically rough and sexy R&B LP Stone Rollin' from Raphael Saadiq.    California's Saadiq is exhuming the musical spirit and attitude of Muddy Waters and Sam Cooke, then making an entirely fresh and funky listen from end to end.    This is evolution.

Album Review:Adele-21

Adele releases another album that exhibits her incredible vocal talents, which are delivered with honesty and authenticity, unlike the redundancies that exist with other popular female vocalists prevalent in radio.    However, while listening to Adele's newest, the only thing I notice is her great voice, which doesn't really translate into an album of great songs, regrettably.    One exception is Rumor Has It, which Sam Cooke would have loved to have heard after her cover of That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On, but should have been placed at track 4 or, preferably, track 7.
