A pet project of Billy Paul Williams, who for decades has been one of the most creative producers on the dance music scene, Phonomatiq creates loungey, jazz influenced takes on modern pop songs. Originally conceived as a singles project, six singles wil be released before the project is expanded into a full-length album. Comparisons have been drawn to Post Modern Jukebox, although Phonomatiq takes that blueprint to an entirely new level. Simply put, Phonomatiq sets a new standard for sophisticated lounge music at it's finest. Presented here is one of the six single releases, a modern and adventurous take on Amy Winehouse's 2007 soulful smash hit, "Valerie." BPW works his magic yet again... .
