Our Take

FATBACK: Is This The Future

Rating: 8.5/10

The latest offering from funk legends FATBACK, "Is This The Future," is a delightful romp through the sounds of yesteryear with a modern twist. From the infectious grooves of "Funky Strut" to the soulful balladry of "Love on the Line," this album is a testament to the band's incredible staying power in the ever-evolving world of music.

Frontman Johnny King's vocals soar effortlessly over the band's tight instrumentation, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and refreshingly new. The standout track, "Boogie Nights," is a disco-infused anthem that will have you dancing in your seat from start to finish.

FATBACK's ability to seamlessly blend genres and styles is on full display here, with elements of funk, soul, and R&B all coming together to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The production is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine through while still maintaining a cohesive sound throughout.

Overall, "Is This The Future" is a fantastic addition to FATBACK's already impressive discography. It's a fun, funky ride that will have you grooving along from start to finish. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to party like it's 1979 - FATBACK is back, and they're here to stay.
