Every time we think Raphael Saadiq may be just about done promoting last year's winning LP, The Way I See It, he comes back with yet another video, or performance, to support the effort. It's almost unheard of these days, an artist spending more than a year reveling in the glory of one project, but we love him for it. This latest video to emerge, courtesy of SpinTV, is for "Staying In Love," which admittedly wasn't one of my favorites, but the video sure is. As the Spin site described it, it's like an "iPod ad meets Frank Miller's semi-animated Sin City." Dead-on. Check it below, and after the bounce, see Saadiq's upcoming tour dates with another of our favorites, Janelle Monae. Should be a very interesting tour, to say the least.
