3030864, I hope its more Amy Winehouse than Raphael Saadiq...here me out

I thinking making retro music is a fine line to walk because if you are too faithful to the original material it ends up sounding like a retread and doesn't bring anything new to the material.

I think Saadiq made that mistake with The Way I See It , my post was a bit click bait because the truth is Saadiq also does it very well which he does on albums like Ray Ray.

I mention Amy Winehouse because her Fade to Black was one of the best examples of going retro without being too faithful to the original material and offering something new.


This first song from Silk Sonic is cool, but I hope they don't stay so faithfully retro with the next release.
