Our Take

Orlando Le Fleming's latest offering, "Romantic Funk: The Unfamiliar," is a rollercoaster ride of sonic exploration that defies genre boundaries and challenges listener expectations in the most delightful way.

From the opening track, it's clear that Le Fleming is not content to stick to one particular sound or style. The album seamlessly weaves together elements of funk, jazz, and even a hint of electronica to create a truly unique and immersive listening experience.

Le Fleming's bass playing is, as always, top-notch. His grooves are infectious and his sense of rhythm is impeccable. But what really sets this album apart is his willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered "traditional" funk music.

Tracks like "Funky Town" and "Groove Machine" showcase Le Fleming's ability to switch between styles with ease, while songs like "Mystery Dance" and "Lost in the Groove" dive deep into experimental territory, blending together intricate melodies and unconventional rhythms with surprising results.

In true Pitchfork fashion, we can't help but appreciate Le Fleming's fearless approach to music-making. "Romantic Funk: The Unfamiliar" is a bold and exciting statement from an artist who continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of funk music. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove - this is an album you won't soon forget.
