While gearing up for the release of his new studio album Stone Rollin’ (May 10th), Raphael Saadiq has announced new dates to his US tour (see routing below). The Stone Rollin’ tour, which kicked off this spring included performances at SXSW and most recently, the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, where Saadiq wowed crowds with his soulful throwbacks. In addition to the new dates, NPR Music is set to premiere the album on May 2nd while VH1 has added “Stone Rollin’” to its playlist. Raphael Saadiq will also promote the album on television the week of its release, performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Conan, Last Call With Carson Daly, The Tavis Smiley Show, BET’s 106 & Park and VH1’s “Big Morning Buzz Live.” Raphael will also be featured in an upcoming episode of Live from Abbey Road. His album track “Good Man” also just reached the Top 20 at Urban Adult radio and was just featured in the hit VH1 reality drama, Mob Wives. Another album track, “Go to Hell” will be featured on an upcoming episode.
Although not set for release until May, Stone Rollin’ has already met with acclaim from critics across the board. Billboard magazine raves, “The multifaceted artist orchestrates a skillful balance between classic influences and contemporary nuances” while NPR Music praised the album as “a fine set of polished throwback soul…a big, bright ball of energy, and it serves Saadiq’s songs well.” Rolling Stone also recently named Saadiq as the “Best Retro Soul.” On this new album, Saadiq nods to his heroes like Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Little Walter and Sly Stone, while merging his own contemporary twist, one born out of a combination of his recent touring experiences, as well as inspiration derived from indie acts that hold regular rotation in his iPod. Opening with the stomping “Heart Attack,” the album’s other standout cuts include the stunning “Go To Hell,” featuring his studio squad of musicians who are melodically complimented by an angelic choir and the evocative Dixieland number “Day Dreams,” featuring Robert Randolph who plays steel guitar on the track.
