''Fast and Curious'' is the fourth studio album by American R&B recording artist Sy Smith, released on March 6, 2012 by Psyko! Records. The album was originally planned for a 2011 release. However, the project was put on hiatus due to Smith wanting to record more material for the album and the 2011 Authenticity Tour with The Foreign Exchange. The album's musical style ranges from 1970s-80s funk and acid jazz to house elements such as electronica and electronic soul. Synth instrumentation was employed in recording most of the tracks as part of Smith's vision of creating "this big party going on in my head".〔(Sy Smith: In Syberspace - The Revivalist ).
