Looking for some cool issues to do and see in Chicago within the week forward? We’ve bought these ideas to contemplate: New music cycle In current years, R&B hybrid Raphael Saadiq has been busy writing music for movies and tv, together with the rating for HBO’s “Insecure.” Now on his first album in eight years, “Jimmy Lee,” he’s written an intensely private music cycle that delves into tales of affection, troubled relationships and the deaths of three of his siblings.

Tickets: $35. Visit
