Jamie Lidell will be performing his new album Jim at The Academy, Dublin, this Saturday. Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone, performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced one man band. Over these pre-recorded voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. Taking things further than Multiply, Lidell appears to have found the balance between the spontaneous creativity of his raw ideas and how to carefully craft a popular work of art. The result is quite a polished record, one which makes Lidell, marketable. Below, a recent interview with Pitchfork where he discusses why he is making pop, new single Little Bit of Feel Good (2008) and the sultry Daddy's Car (2000) which is a finer example of how raw his creativity can be.
