Album Notes
Personnel includes: Raphael Saadiq (vocals, guitar, bass); D'Angelo, Angie Stone, Calvin Richardson, T-Boz.
INSTANT VINTAGE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album.
"Be Here" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
Japanese edition contains the bonus track "What?"
Though Raphael Saadiq kicked around for much of the '90s, working as bassist, guitarist, and producer for everyone from D'Angelo to the Bee Gees and contributing his own cuts to the soundtracks of such films as RIDE, BABY BOY, and HIGHER LEARNING, 2002's INSTANT VINTAGE is--incredibly enough--his first full-length solo album. The title of the album--and the involvement of such luminaries as Angie Stone and the aforementioned D'Angelo--should be a clue as to the sound here. While Saadiq fully avails himself of cutting-edge production and technology, he's more interested in Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye than in R. Kelly. While he doesn't wave his history-conscious tendencies like a flag, there's more melodicism and good old-fashioned soul to these tunes than you'll find of many contemporaneous R&B recordings.

Editorial Reviews
7 out of 10 - ...A light, lithe neo-soul record....Saadiq sings about sex like it's - get this - fun. As singer and trackmaster, Saadiq is a creature of nuance...

...Saadiq stretches R&B grooves like taffy. He works much of the same territory as pal D'Angelo...but Saadiq calls the mix 'gospeldelic'... - Rating: B
