Raphael Saadiq once sang, “falling in love can be easy, but staying in love is too tricky”. This seems to be a similar theme in “Good Man”, the latest track off his upcoming Radio (due out March 22nd). In the moody single, the crooner is shocked and heartbroken that his woman has up and left him—as the female backup vocals rattle off a laundry list of reasons why Saadiq is the definition of the song’s title . Jump below for a listen and judge for yourself if the “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” contributor is a worthy suitor.

I really am loving Raphael Saadiq lately. Check out this video too for “Radio.” Amazing! http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/video-exclusive-raphael-saadiq-rocks-on-radio-20110106
WoW!!!! I love “Good Man” by Raphael. He has definately created a timeless piece with this one. I am so excited about the REAL music I’m hearing in the air lately. Music feels good once again. Saw an artist over the weekend in Long Beach, Kelvin Sinclair. His CD “Love Lounge 505″ gives us another taste of timeless real good music. Thank you music world for bringing back the real thing.
