Title Note

Personnel: Amp Fiddler; J Dilla, George Clinton , Raphael Saadiq.

Though 2004's WALTZ OF A GHETTO FLY is Amp Fiddler's first solo album, the keyboardist/producer/singer has been working in the wings of the industry since the 1980s. Fiddler has backed Prince, P-Funk, and the Brand New Heavies, among others, and has contributed his talents to a string of electronica and house club hits. The flavors of Fiddler's previous associations are distilled to a smooth, mellow perfection on his debut, with subtle electro beats, a healthy dose of contemporary R&B, and plenty of moody, down-tempo funk and soul.

If the album's title and the psychedelic cover art weren't clue enough, the drowsy funk of "If You Can't Get Me Off Your Mind," which channels late-period Sly Stone, proves the stylistic allegiances here are clearly to the '70s. Even given his contemporary production, house-music riffs, and neo-soul flourishes ("Soul Divine"), Fiddler's true touchstones are Sly and Stevie Wonder, with loungey grooves and funky, seductive vocals gracing even the most dance-oriented tracks ("Superficial"). Fiddler's roots show, but his ability to update these sounds with such skill and finesse makes WALTZ OF A GHETTO FLY one of the most enjoyable soul releases of the year.
