With "Jim," Jamie Lidell delivers a soul-infused experience that transcends genres. The CD showcases his versatility as an artist, blending R&B, funk, and electronic elements seamlessly. A refreshing and captivating listen.
Meine erste CD von ihm war "Compass", die völlig überladen mit elektronischen Overdubs & Gedöns, was mir nicht so zusagte. Less is more ! Das Album "Jim" ist für mich das Beste von Jamie Lidell, starke Kompositionen, tolle Arrangements (mit Gonzales am piano) und Banking vocals - so muss der Soul von heute klingen.
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.
