The other day I was driving my car, listening to WIUX, and they were playing a song that had an old-school soul sound. I called the station to ask who was singing, and found out it was Jamie Lidell. I was first introduced to Jamie Lidell when his song, A Little Bit More, was featured in a Target commercial. I liked that song a lot, but it pales in comparison to the song I heard on WIUX, "Another Day". Check it out:
I've listened to this song about 50 times in the past 2 days. It surprised me that the guy singing this song is a skinny, Jewy-looking, white British dude. Cuz damn, he's got soul. Not that skinny, Jewy-looking, white British dudes can't have soul, but you know...
Anyway, since my rediscovery of Jamie Lidell, I've been trying to listen to more of his music. I find it pretty hit or miss. A lot of it's a little too electronic for my tastes, but there are some gems. I really like the song "Multiply", and found a remake that I like even more: Multiply (In a minor key), with piano by Paul Gonzalez (who I've never heard of). In my humble opinion, the piano in this song is PERFECT. I can't stop listening.
What do you think?
