Raphael Saadiq Announces ‘No Bandwidth’ Tour, Plots New Album and Documentary (EXCLUSIVE)


Raphael Saadiq announces his 'No Bandwidth' tour and discusses plans for his upcoming album and documentary.

Before he heads out on the road, Saadiq, fresh off a performance at the NBA All-Star game, spoke with Variety about why he’s embarking on this new venture decades into his career, what to expect from his upcoming documentary and how he’s approaching his next studio album. We became really good friends and he walked on stage with me and we did this bit on my record called “Jimmy Lee” in New York, we did it in a few places, and we got together backstage and freestyled what we were going to talk about, and when we did it, I was like I can do this. I love that I could work with artists like Beyoncé and her sister Solange, and be on stage with Mick Jagger and be a part of Sheila E. and Prince when I was younger and John Cougar Mellencamp and the Bee Gees.
