Raphael Saadiq – Big Easy (the European Version)

September 24, 2010

Yes, you are most likely just like myself not attracted by songs that have a “Euro version” in brackets. Therefore I haven’t ever listened to this tune or version. Euro in Europe indicates some horrible dancefloor rubbish à la “Barbie Girl”. So I figured this was one of these versions, where a doomed record label attempts to make soulful and good music “dancefloor friendly” – with horrible results which are even an insult to crappy techno producers.

But on the contrary, this is just a European verison of the same song, that Rapahel Saadiq released 2 years ago and it’s one of these songs that is the pure & living essence of our YUM YUM sound. This version is just a bit more mellowed out, but beautiful nonetheless. Saadiq has always been a favourite in my book and almost every girl I was with got a Raphael Saadiq album (Instant Vintage) as a present to help her climax her musical taste, lol. This means the difference between having a Soul and a lot of so-called modern Soul music.

Big Easy’s actually a sad, sad story but the way he delivers it – I simply – love this tune – love it back

Raphael Saadiq @ La Bellevilloise, Paris

March 24, 2009

“Raphael Saadiq truly knows how to get down and GROOVE. His show for the now infamous “NUITS ZEBREES” parties by Radio NOVA at the Bellevilloise in Paris was a massive hit. The place was completely “souled out” with a French audience that was having an unusually VIBRANT and JOYFUL day! His music & the show’s vibe fit his wardrobe: classy, oldschool, and oozing sensuality. Killer show.” via grandcrew.com.
