Editorial Review: Product Description: Recorded in Berlin, Los Angeles and Paris, Jim takes even further what was started with Multiply, finding the balance between the spontaneous creativity of his raw ideas and the careful craft and polish of a great record. Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small hours. It s a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R & B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of hillbilly funk. I haven t tried to hide the influences, says Jamie Lidell ''This is the music I love.'' But, listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and style that is entirely his own. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - a great new, old soundI got to catch this guy live on Austin City music festival, I had never heard of him prior. His performance was so good I decided purchase this cd. I must say he ranks quite high on my most enjoyable 2008 cds. As many of the other reviews stated he has a great SOUL voice. i hope he has great success and keeps up the great releases. I dont have a favorite song yet, because they are all so good it has been hard to pick. Rating:  - A little mo' Motown Jamie Lidell is one of those artist that broke into a little bit of mainstream by being used in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. His last album Multiply was an absolute piece of art. It evoked the spirit of old time funk, a little motown, and rock and roll. This album is surely focused a little more on Motown. Jim is more polished a lot softer and happier. These songs could have easily been from a past time period. The songs are well written and very well performed. Any fan of Motown would surely fall in love with this album. Rating:  - Pleasantly surprised!I bought the CD after hearing only one of the songs. I figured the rest of the CD probably wasn't as good but I was wrong! They are all good songs and my family and I are really enjoying them. Even my kids (10 and 7) like them! Rating: - Soulful StarAfter hearing one track from JIM, I took a chance and bought the CD....no regrets. From the moment I put it into my CD player, his soulful melodies and amazing voice threw me back to an early Stevie Wonder. I was playing it in the background at a party, and everyone was asking about it was because he was so awesome. A few songs sound a bit similar, but I still recommend this CD. Rating: - Time Warped British Blue Eyed SoulThis CD is a whole lot more than "A Little Bit of Feel Good," which is not only getting a lot of radio-play, but also appeared on both "NCIS" and "Grey's Anatomy" in the past few weeks. Though Jamie Lidell's a British bloke, he's got a voice straight out of the 1960's South. He's been likened to everyone from Marvin Gaye to Sam Cooke. My understanding is Lidell came from techno, but I have no experience with his previous music--but you better believe I'm going to check it out! Standouts for me: "A Little Bit of Feel Good" which will get you up on your feet with it's uptempo beat and gospel groove. "All I wanna do" a bluesy ballad. "Green Light" which adds a techno groove over what could have been an Al Green song. ... Read More: |
