BJ The Chicago Kid Covers Raphael Saadiq
BJ The Chicago Kid is part of the new generation of soul, who has no doubt been influenced by tons of artists from the 90s going into the ’00s. Taking part in E&J Brandy’s Generations of Soul series, the singer makes time to honor the great Raphael Saadiq, with a cover of “Charlie Ray” from his 2002 debut album Instant Vintage. For a lover of neo-soul, it’s a dream come true.
“‘Charlie Ray’ is one of my all time favorite songs. With Raphael having such an extensive catalog, I had to pick a song that I have a personal connection with. While staying true to Raphael’s intention, I also had to inject my own touch to it. I hope fans dig both versions.” – BJ The Chicago Kid
