For its May 2011 issue (on newsstands April 26), Esquire gathered Raphael Saadiq and four other amazing musicians in Detroit for a two-day fashion shoot with legendary photographer Danny Clinch. To make things interesting, Esquire also issued a challenge to each musician: create, perform, and record an original song inspired by the phrase “Last Night in Detroit.” Each musician rose to the challenge, and Esquire is now selling the songs (as well as a five-song EP) on iTunes to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit.

Check out Raphael’s story, hear a clip of Raphael’s new song, “Breaking IN,” and watch some behind the scenes video.
