Raphael Saadiq Announces One Man Show And Vinyl Club
Raphael Saadiq is having quite the year.
Fresh off his recent Album of the Year win at the 2025 GRAMMYs for his contribution to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and a performance at the 2025 NBA All-Star game, the esteemed singer-songwriter has announced this one-man show, No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits. The intimate series will spotlight untold stories and records spanning from his Tony! Toni! Toné! and Lucy Pearl days, including his solo albums and trailblazing production.
When speaking on the once-in-a-lifetime experience, Saadiq said in a statement, “I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show. I want to challenge myself. My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.”

“The very thing that got me started was vinyl. The vinyl club is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. This first vinyl is very important for me to release. I call it Lucy Pearl 2.0,” said Saadiq in a statement. “When you join the club you get merch, maybe a song, a download in the middle of the night. Maybe I’ll drop something directly to you, access to private shows. We’re gonna be adding things to it all the time. It’s going to be new music, I’m not just gonna hold stuff in the studio. I’m gonna put stuff that I have in the vault.”
For the first time in history, he’s opening his vault and giving fans a rare glimpse into his catalog. With the exclusive membership, fans will gain access to quarterly releases with the first being Lucy Pearl’s sole album. The drop features the never-before-released song, “Gonna Miss U.”
The second vinyl, slated for release in May, will be a reissue of Saadiq’s critically-acclaimed solo album, Ray Ray. Members will also have access to The Vault, which is an archive of never-before-seen photos, behind-the-scenes videos, and more.
