Something From O Flava Psi: The Remix – A Funky Soul Trip You Didn’t Know You Needed
Alright, let’s get into this funky little gem from 2007. Something From O Flava Psi: The Remix is one of those albums that sneaks up on you like a bassline in the dark. Released by Music Vision Publishing and hailing straight outta the US, it's got all the soulful swagger and groove-laden vibes you’d expect from an artist named O Flava Psi. This isn’t your typical polished studio album—it feels raw, real, and kinda messy in the best way possible.
Now, I gotta say, there are some bangers here. But two tracks really stuck with me after hitting play: "Plop Plop Fizz Fizz (Is What U Like!)" and "Slow & Easy." Let’s break ‘em down real quick.
First off, “Plop Plop Fizz Fizz” is just... wild. It’s got this infectious energy that makes you wanna grab someone and start dancing—even if nobody else is around. The beat hits hard, but what gets me every time is how playful it feels. Like, who names a song after Alka-Seltzer? Only someone unafraid to mix fun with funk. And honestly, that’s why it sticks. You can tell O Flava Psi wasn’t trying too hard to be cool—they were just being themselves, which is refreshing as hell.
Then there’s “Slow & Easy,” which flips the vibe completely. If “Plop Plop Fizz Fizz” is the life of the party, this track is the chill hangout afterward when everyone’s catching their breath. The rhythm is smooth, almost hypnotic, and the vocals have this laid-back charm that pulls you in. There’s something about the way the instruments blend together—it’s like sinking into a comfy couch made of sound. By the end, you’re not sure whether you’ve been listening for five minutes or fifty. That’s the magic of it.
The rest of the album keeps things interesting too. Tracks like “Aint No High When Shes Gone” bring the emotional weight, while “Ole School Groove” lives up to its name with a retro feel that’ll make you dig out your old vinyl collection. Even the intro, “Intro Sexology (The Remix),” sets the tone perfectly—like a warm-up set at a club where you know good stuff’s coming.
But here’s the thing about Something From O Flava Psi: The Remix: it doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it reminds us why we fell in love with funk and soul in the first place. It’s got heart, grit, and enough groove to keep your head nodding for days. Sure, it might not be perfect, but maybe that’s the point. Sometimes imperfection is exactly what makes something memorable.
So yeah, give this album a spin if you’re looking for something different. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself randomly busting moves in public. Oh, and one last thought—how does O Flava Psi even come up with these song titles? Genius or madness? Honestly, probably both.
