A protégé of the Warp electronic label, Britain's Jamie Lidell goes far beyond
electro. This gifted singer-songwriter boasts an exceptional soul voice and has
proved himself an excellent showman. Among his albums, Jim (2008) and the
eclectic Compass (2010) help to bring his talent to the fore. This eclecticism
is exploited to the full on the following album, soberly entitled Jamie Lidell,
where the Englishman moves from nu-soul to R&B, from electro to 1980s pop. This
influence is still perceptible on Jamie Lidell 's fifth album (2013), recorded
at his home in Nashville.
