Jamie Lidell: welcome back to your comfort zone

 

Jamie Lidell is a musician with a restless curiosity. He enjoys immersing in different genres, seemingly evading a natural sense of failure. He first became known for his ingenious integration of soul with electronic music. But his appetite exceeded that first venture. However, his explorations of other genres, like indie-rock for example, haven’t been that successful in my opinion. Luckily, with his latest album, Jamie Lidell (2013), he’s back to that sound I first enjoyed so much. His approach remains imaginative and fresh, reminiscent to old-school paraphernalia present in 70’s Parliament and early 80’s Prince: this is digital funk for a digital era. Jamie Lidell remains adventurous, only this time his experiment has proven out to be a delightful one.
