Our Take

Sly Stone: the man, the myth, the legend. After disappearing from the music scene for over two decades, the enigmatic funk icon has finally resurfaced with his latest album "I'm Back! Family & Friends."

From the moment the groovy beats kick in on the opening track, it's clear that Sly hasn't lost his touch. His signature blend of soulful vocals, funky basslines, and infectious melodies are present throughout the entire album.

Not content with just delivering a nostalgia trip, Sly has enlisted the help of some of the biggest names in music to help bring his sound into the 21st century. Collaborations with the likes of Janelle Monáe, Kendrick Lamar, and Anderson .Paak bring a fresh, contemporary edge to his classic sound.

Tracks like "Everyday People 2.0" and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" are updated for a new generation, while still retaining the timeless appeal that made Sly a household name in the first place.

While some may argue that Sly should have stayed in retirement, "I'm Back! Family & Friends" proves that he still has plenty to offer the world of music. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a copy of the album, and get ready to groove like it's 1970 all over again. Sly Stone is back, and he's as funky as ever.
