I saw Raheem at the Youtube Theater in Inglewood, when he opened for Ledisi, and he gave a superb performance! With the range of his voice, those beautiful melodies, that sexy falsetto..., coupled with the music from his band, it was truly a musical treat. Live music with a real live singer of his caliber is rare. He curated the perfect setlist of all his hits from when he first hit the scene in 2005, to his current hits and it all blended together seamlessly; And he sounds even better live, than he does on record (which is unheard of with all the autotuning that is put on records these days.)
Raheem utilized the entire stage, singing to the front of the audience & even went out in the crowd, running up & down the aisles to get up close with the audience, giving out roses to all the ladies (while still flawlessly hitting his notes). He tantalizes his female audience and shows the male audience how they can romance their women and create a 'Love Experience'. At the end of the concert, he did a Meet & Greet with the fans for free. He didn't charge for it like most other singers, when he is actually worthy of asking for top dollar for that up close and personal experience.
This was my 3rd time seeing him and the growth was remarkable. His voice is perfection, and I could've sat for another hour listening to him sing his catalog. His star is rising, and he will soon be headlining huge arenas. I can’t wait to see where his gifts are gonna take him. Do yourself a favor and go see and hear ‘Mr. Midnight’ for yourself!
