Mr Fiddler – With Respect

For artists who yearn to embrace ’70s-style soul and funk but don’t want to sound “dated,” a common approach is combining a ’70s-inspired sound with a more high-tech production style that employs elements of hip-hop. Mr. Fiddler does exactly that on the underrated With Respect — expressing an allegiance to Parliament/Funkadelic in no uncertain terms without going for an overtly ’70s type of production.
