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".
Upon its release, Fast and Curious received positive reviews from music critics and earned Smith credit for ushering in a new genre referred to as "Electronic soul" or "Electrosoul". In 2010, Smith and Mark de Clive-Lowe embarked on their first tour together, which was titled Sy Smith & Mark de Clive-Lowe Tour.
Smith working on the project in 2010. After the collaboration between Smith and Mark de Clive-Lowe on the single "Truth", Lowe proceeded as sole producer of Smith's album. During the Sy Smith & Mark de Clive-Lowe Tour, Smith had alreadied recorded several songs with Lowe including "Personal Paradise" and "Super Sy" which she performed at several venues (most notably at Spread Love) in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 24, 2010.
In April 2010, Smith confirmed that she was working on a new project and that she had already recorded a song called "Message from the Stars". She also stated her plans to release a project in the summer of 2010 which resulted in the release of the buzz single "Truth". In December 2010, Smith stated in another interview, "I’m working to finish this synthy '80s throwback dance record."
