You Know We Love Saadiq. But Do We 'Love That Girl'?

It's no secret how much we stan for Raphael Saadiq here at SoulBounce. Next to this guy, he's pretty much aces as far as we're concerned. So I was excited when we discovered that the first official video from his September release The Way I See It dropped, supporting the single "Love That Girl." (You already know we love that as well.) I pressed play and settled in, getting my hand-clap on to his 1960s groove. And then, about 1:30 into the video, my hands hit my forehead instead. Really, Raphael? Is that what was hot in the streets during that era? Yes, I'm knocking your hustle a bit, and even though I'm also aware that a lot of our young starlets have been popping up regularly in videos lately, there were still sooo many better other choices you could've made for leading lady. Sigh. I digress. What I will say is that I love the video concept, and you know I love the song, but respectfully, I'm not sure that I love that girl. That is all. I will now go call my mother and say sorry on Saadiq's behalf.
