You won't find much electronica-laced, ambient material on Jim. Lidell began moving away from that formula on Multiply and he's taken it further on Jim, which for the most part throws back to '60s and '70s soul. This is a huge step forward for Lidell and results in some of his strongest material yet. "Another Day," with its insanely catchy piano...

After a song becomes familiar, there's always a risk its remix will sound unnatural or forced, maybe even a little irritating, to the devout follower's ear. There's also a risk that, after an album blows up, the obligatory remix/alternate version EP will be filled with such remixes. For the most part, the 10 alternate versions on Jamie Lidell's...

Jamie Lidell Finds His Compass With New Album

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 7, 2010 4:08 pm
When you've played with as many styles of music as Jamie Lidell, talking about making your record a "mess" in order to find your musical self seems a bit ironic. But it actually makes tons of sense. Lidell spent the early part of his career experimenting with techno and dance music before doing an about-face with 2008's Jim, which was...

Jamie Lidell — Compass

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 18, 2010 4:27 pm
Musical chamelon Jamie Lidell's last album, 2008's Jim, was a surprising turn away from his techno and electronica past and a move towards throwback '70s-influenced soul. Lidell's since said he wasn't happy with the album and he made it to satisfy people who had a particular vision of what kind of musician he should be. So he's used Compass as...

Jamie Lidell: More Than "Neo-Soul"

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 8:07 am
Jamie Lidell released Jim, his third full-length album, in April. Although he began moving away from the experimental electronica sounds of his 2000 Muddlin' Crew debut on 2005's Multiply, Jim's throwback '60s soul sounds are a huge departure. But don't call him "neo-soul." He'd rather be known as the guy with "itchy sonic feet....

Jim dropped in April and Lidell, who used to be known for his shows full of solo beatboxing and sampling, is touring with a full band to support the disc. Although he might be backed by several accomplished...
