Lynne Fiddmont

Behold...a woman whose time has finally come. After being the go-to singer for an astounding and diverse roster of musical talents that includes Phil Collins, Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Yolanda Adams, Norman Brown, Bill Withers, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston and Seal, this lady is ready for the world to hear her voice, her music and her story. The lady is Lynne Fiddmont and her first step toward total self-expression is her life-affirming debut album, Flow (released on the lady's own boldly named recording imprint, MidLife Records).

Flow is a 9-song collection of melodic, jazzy soul songs for which Lynne composed all but one. Beyond writing and singing, Lynne also produced the project, learning Pro Tools and other advanced studio techniques to ensure that she had a hand in every aspect of its creation. All of her hard-earned time in studios and on the road working amongst the very best the business (in all fields) has prepared Ms. Fiddmont for her maiden voyage as a complete artist in her own right. The key has been getting in tune with personal goals...and going with the Flow. "Flow is the developing philosophy for my life right now," Lynne explains. "As things occur, you can either fight them or go with them, figuring out solutions and making the best of a challenging situation."

Flow marks Fiddmont time! "You know," she muses, "I've never felt that before...but I feel it now! It's been great doing things that were once 'off limits,' like producing or Pro Tools. I called in many of my favorite bass players (the instrument of her heart) and even had to tell one of them to go home after I felt the part he played was sufficient! There aren't many women producing, editing and recording. I refuse to be limited. I want to express my full potential, whatever that is. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I feel like I'm finally getting that...and its great!"

The music washes over the listener, bathing them in the luxuriant moods of Lynne's divine, sultry voice. Ms. Fiddmont surrounds you in an intimate aural embrace of love, serenity and sensuality. Like sun-ripened summer fruit, the CD bursts open with the care-free samba "Holiday" (produced by bassist Freddie Washington, best known for co-writing Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots," which was also sampled for Will Smith's "Men in Black").

Flow (The EP Remix Series), released as the CD's first single through INgrooves and on tastemaker compilations in Europe, has whet the appetites of listeners for Lynne's soul-stirring artistry. Fusing a boppin' groove to catchy, clever lyrics, co-writer and producer Tim Carmon and Lynne hit the mark with a musical combination destined to touch everyone.
