It’s been a high note kind of year for Saadiq, who won a Grammy for his work on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter ,” wrote “I Lied to You” for Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners ” and is preparing the rerelease of his 2004 solo album “Ray Ray” through his Vinyl Club, a membership that reissues his catalog.

Raphael Saadiq talks about his process — from collaborating with Beyoncé and Solange, to his song in Sinners, to his R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!
