Jamie Lidell

To pit an older Jamie Lidell solo album against his newest, Multiply, is akin to picturing Squarepusher putting out an album that sounds like Antony's "I am a Bird Now". I'm sure there is an explanation, but I haven't stumbled upon it. Either way, the whiteboy-soul route he's gone works well, and he's crafted a great summer album. Prince, he ain't, but my British homeboy does indeed have soul. Some would even say, by the pound.
Touring with Beck this summer...
