Amp Fiddler |
After being hailed as one of the album of 2007 by Word Magazine ‘Afro Strut’, Amp Fiddler’s sophomore album has exceeded all expectations that sometimes problematic second albums are usually tarnished with. With his eyes set firmly on being one of the best albums of 2007 as well – Amp Fiddler returns with the US edition of ‘Afro Strut’ featuring 5 new tracks.
Like many of the great contemporary black music movements be it Jazz, Doo-Wop, Afrobeat, soul or hip-hop, ‘Afro Strut’ is, like its predecessor ’Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly’ without modern day comparison. The collusion of a lifetime of influences and experiences that are drawn on, used, discarded and Amp-lified across twelve rich slices of raw funk.
“A refreshingly consistent celebration of Sly and Stevie” – Word
“Equal parts pimped-out kitsch and soul, it’s the sound of a contender finding his own groove.” Q |
