Editorial review

They've doubtless heard all the jokes, every one -- and if you're going to call your label Jive Sucka! and have a horn section called that as well, not to mention songs called "New Thang" and "Poppa Music," then one might as well start writing the Wild Cherry and Average White Band comparisons before listening. (As was the case with this review, frankly.) So does Ooh La La Sha Sha stand on its own merits or not? Well?kinda. Which may sound like a cop-out, but ultimately that's the feeling of the album as well -- if it's trying to have its cake and eat it too, fair enough, but one gets the feeling that if Daddy Wrall would just embrace his perfectly obvious (and perfectly justifiable) Prince fascination to the full rather than creating a freeze-dried -- or blow-dried -- parody/tribute/cartoon of the same then he'd end up in a better place all around. "Vanilla Place" in particular is a full-on ?if only this song was actually on disc 2 of Sign O' the Times' effort that almost could justify inclusion on that masterpiece -- and with an Elvis reference to boot --yet still somehow isn't as full-on entertainingly right/beautifully wrong as Ween's stellar lo-fi cover of "Shockadelica" nearly two decades back. On balance, Miss Fairchild love not too wisely but too well -- there's all the funk-signifier embraces, the squiggly synths, the jazz flute breaks and more that one could want, and again, Daddy Wrall in particular has a voice and can use it. But after a certain point one just actually wants to hear "Machine Gun" and "Jungle Boogie" and "Adore" and a whole lot more besides than a charming-but-adds-little recreation of same. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

Miss Fairchild is more than just a band. True, they play dynamic modern pop music that also serves as a music appreciation course for lovers of soul and funk music. True, they blend a timeless sense of songwriting with an undeniable sense of now, displaying a remarkable musical palette influenced by such artists as Sly & The Family Stone and Tony Toni Toné. True their live incarnation, The Miss Fairchild Show, has drawn comparisons to the legendary JB’s for its energy and remarkable transitions. But more than all of that, Miss Fairchild exists to bring joy to an oftentimes-joyless world.

Even in their earliest days of music making, Miss Fairchild’s Daddy Wrall (vocals), Samuel P. Nice (production) and Schuyler Dunlap (instruments) have made it their mission to put the K back in Fun.
