Multiply [VINYL]

by: Jamie Lidell

Release Date June 13, 2005
When I first heard this record, I loathed it.
I had enjoyed Lidell's earlier record, 'Muddlin' Gear' and found 'Multiply' a bizarre shift towards a more souly-sound, and a sound that it felt like he was putting on in an attempt to essentially be Prince.
However, I came back to record a few months later with less expectations and now I can't get enough of it. It's fresh modern soul, like Vikter Duplaix, and is exciting technically and emotionally.
Lidell's voice has never really been in question, and here he also shows himself to be a true musical maverick.
Favourite track: 'What's the use?'
