  • Check the bass line in this song.

  • hell yeah this that track u bump when u ridin n that fancy ass whip......and at home gettinn ready to step out wit that bubbly in hand out fa tha night..

    -Ell

  • this song at the time was my pick me up....so soulful. i always suited up to this track to step out for the night

  • Look for "smooth" in the dictionary and this song will be listed right next to it.

  • SIDDIQ

  • One o the greatest songs I have ever Devoured.....It is layered perfectly. Listen to the chorus kill it when they are layered in. Sounds like Earth, Wind, & Fire.The first time I heard this was on a pair of $5,000 speakers. Imagine how I was baptised into this one. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Live is soon to come....

  • The best thing about this joint other than the layering are the 2 songs that are attached to it at the end. The 2nd joint is HOT... period. The 3rd joint sounds like some lost archive footage of a Sly and the Family Stone jam session. Trippy.

  • SOULFOREAL!!!!!!

  • What is cool about this song is that it is a copilation of 3 songs. This tune and the tune at 8:14 (a funkadelic-parliment flavor is also fresh as the date this cd dropped)

  • The energy of this song is amazing. It takes me to place full of warm emotions and limitless possiblities. Raphael's music is timeless.

  • beautiful beautiful.....

    Says it all

  • Better every time...

  • This dude is INSANE!!! GOTTA see him in Concert!!! Best show EVER!!!

  • Such effortless beauty and energy flowing all through this song. It's truly spiritual.

  • Your my joy : )

  • This song puts me in the moment, a love making moment that doesn't wanna release. The chic on this track adds to the delicious flavor.

  • One of the sexiest man voices around!

  • Nice & easy; Feel Good kinda music; Love the lyrics....

  • this song is how i feel about the love of my life

  • Great tune from a great album

  • He's knows what I like.

  • i love this song. i made a beat out of it years ago. someone please tell me how i can upload it so yall can hear it. i love this song.

  • love it.............

  • A masterpiece, no competition. Thumbs up if you agree !

  • This is real music! My kind of artist. We need more original and TALENTED people in the industry. Seems to me that to be in the buisness now it's about being more weird than rest....WEIRD doesn't necessarily mean original, and definitly does make you talented!

  • On my all time geatest list of CD's. Rides out from beginning to end. Can't believe it only sold like 200,000 copies. Saadiq titled it correctly. INSTANT VINTAGE!

  • still Ra phael :) master!

  • This truly is my jam..just makes me sing!!!

  • My wedding song! Need I say more ...

  • @LoveBuzz3 Yea, you topped us who love this song by having this your wedding song. Congrats btw

  • this is the smoothest song on the album. i useta bump this cd daily especially this song walkin through downtown bmore and dc on my way to va in a whole nother world not paying the thugs and rats any attention. good night song too with glass of wine.

  • I think Skyy sounds alot like Solange Knowles. Love this song!

  • @tisha812: Skyy sounds like solange knowles? Whu? Skyy isn't a person, it's the name of a band from the 70's/80's and that is the lead female vocalist on this track. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone compare any singer to solange knowles! LMAO!!!!

  • @therumprater ....uhm refer to your inbox please....

  • @therumprater Nice try, but, unfortunately you are wrong too. This song has nothing to do with the group Skyy. And, the young lady featured here is not Skyy either; she is twenty-something year-old singer Rosie Kaye. The lead singer of the group Skyy is Denise Wilkinson. She is about 55 years old now (and still performing I might add). The song is actually Raphael's tribute to the late Aaliyah.

  • @dienglee very interesting, how did you find out that this is a tribute to Aaliyah?

  • @dienglee wys wrong with you how dare u not give GRACE MAXWELLL HER PROPER CREDIT FOR THIS MONSER JAM!!! GRACE SKYY MAXWELL IS THE FEMLE VOCALIST WHO WROTE AND SANG THIS SONG WITH RAPHAEL!!!!!! GO RESEARCH HIS GROUP CALLED WILLIE MAX THE GIRL SINGING IS GRACE SKYY MAXWELL

  • HAPPY BELATED 44th, BIRTHDAY "RAPHAEL SAADIQ"!!!!!!

    DJ Cis loved to spin this joint...wow what good times!

  • music like this makes me wanna cry with joy at the pure BEAUTY and GENIUS of it!! REAL. ASS. MUSIC. simple, classy, grown and SOULFUL..

  • I love playing this song. Perfection in simplicity.

  • Five years ago on a perfect sunny day i got married to my wonderful wife at a waterfall in Wales. This was the song that we played as we signed the register. Absolutely incredible, and always takes us straight back there.

  • I dunno what it is about this song, but I cant listen to it without singing lol

  • Multiples of O'........asis.....

  • As time goes by Raphael has establish himself as one of the greats...and he aint done yet. That's for the share Val...Nice post!

  • You are so right. He is behind alot of the biggest R&B hits. He is truly a musical genius.

  • Check out the Yamwho extended refix...totally baddddd!!!

  • is that the version that raphael saadiq was talking about (at the shepherd's bush empire show)? he said he saw it in a record store in london and bought it lol

  • AMAZING. Saw him in London last night and was entranced by this song during his encore. And Erica Gerry - what a voice! What else has she done?

  • I was at Shepherd's Bush Empire on Monday aswell! Thought Rox sounded nice aswell... This is my favourite Raphael Saadiq song, I was so surprised when I heard the instrumentation come in... And I looked around and saw knowone else knowing the words! Just 1 white boy i.e. me singing!

  • I have always liked this song.....

    What was the name of this album again?

  • Instant Vintage

  • I love him and all the songs but this is my favorite,

    BEAUTIFUL

  • I love the Bass Guitar and how it starts in this song! It can exist as its own song!

  • bahahaha Nelly Furtado !!!!!! wtf

  • This song is simply hypnotic. I can never stop listening to it.

  • I felt that way the first time I heard it, too!

    I played it over and over and over again!

  • This is most certainly not Nelly Furtado, r u crazy! And when Ms. Badu sings, you know its her!! There is no Baduism present!!!

    The lady is Rosie Kaye as 'denienec123' pointed out.

  • Love cruisin late night with this track on in London, slick track!

  • Comment removed

  • I have c.d too and the female singing this song is Rosie Kaye.

  • What means the circle around his left eye?

  • I love this!!! what about posting "Uptown"

  • this song bangs!!! im a raphael FAN!

  • true musican i love all his music

  • Love Raphael & this joint is TIGHT!  My favorite song on the whole CD!

  • LOVE this joint. Thought the female vocalist should be given more props, her voice is amazing. She should have gotten recognition with her name included!

  • WHO is the WOMAN!!!?!?!? I've been trying to find out... it sounds kind of like Mya but I know it's not her...

  • According to many sites after a google search, she's Rosie Kaye. Although she apparently has done nothing after or even before this collabo. No myspace page, no website, no other songs. Its a shame. Her voice in this song is amazing!

  • Ahhh! They should upload the whole song... it's like 14 min I have the CD

  • Same. Its like 3 songs in 1, lol.

  • @RedNoir upload it dude!!

    This tracks awesome, I can only imagine what the 14min version is like!!

  • Sounds nothing like Ms Badu....I dont believe it.

  • This brings back memories of me blasting the stereo in the college dorms.

  • One of the greats of modern soul music good to see him getting props

  • Bad Boy!!

  • brilliant tune...wow

  • jam

  • diggin it

  • Luv It.. "I can look in your pretty eyes, girl you got everything inside"...

  • Goose bumps every time! enuf said i think!

  • I love neo-soul music!!! Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Teedra Moses, Maxwell, Raphael.... they just do it big and do real music.....!!!

  • i agree tht he underrated ,i love this song it has a nice smooth groove to it, and if jill scott was on this track it would mos def take it to another level..=]

  • Lol, this is some jill scott stuff... and he sounds kinda lik stevie wonder....

    it's great... LOVE IT! and he IS underrated

  • I can totally hear Jill Scott doing the female vocals on this, it really sounds like her vibe

  • bullshit dis female is just as good

  • this track is the truth, heard for the first time, when this album dropped 8 years ago. I have been hooked since then. Me and my daughter play it all the time!!!!!

  • I miss my old phone coz I could store MP3's on it - I had this track as a ring tone for YEARS (since '02) LOVE the man - love the music. I think it's so sad that I moved to America only to find that people like Raphael, Teedra, Eric Roberson are NOT KNOWN!!! LIKE what the hell!!!!

    True gems - so underrated but highly appreciated by music lovers world wide!

    HOLDING THUMBS FOR OBAMA!!!!

  • na this came out in '02 (i bought it like the day it came out

  • great song , never heard this , i think it came out in the early 90s

  • I think this came in the top 10 for tune of the year on the Gilles Peterson show, so the people who know it know it, if you catch my drift :)

    One of the best tunes of the Noughties so far and possibly the best track ever to be stuck on at the end of a cd. Loads of folk will have missed it as a result.

  • Obviously we don't have House Music Heads here because the House DJ's been playing this about 4years ago. Raphael is a BAD BOY as you all can hear by this track. I have this on my Ipod. It's HOT!!!!!
