Released on June 22, 1993, by Wing Records, Sons of Soul was the third studio album by Tony! Toni! Toné! (comprising D'wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq, and Timothy Christian Riley). It was a risky follow-up to 1990’s multi-platinum The Revival .

Modern streaming algorithms will serve you "Anniversary" on a loop, but they will never give you the authentic album flow—the way "Slow Wine" melts into "Lovin' You."

When you extract that folder, you aren't just getting 52 minutes of music. You are getting the sweat of Raphael Saadiq’s guitar strings, the whisper of D’wayne Wiggins’ falsetto, and the snap of Timothy Riley’s drums.

"Sons of Soul" is characterized by its soulful, funky sound, which blends elements of R&B, hip-hop, and soul. The album features a range of catchy hooks, smooth vocals, and infectious beats, making it a standout in the 90s R&B landscape.
