About

Though Jamie Lidell has had an artistic metamorphosis with nearly every record his name appears on, <i>Multiply</i> would ultimately provide a thematic blueprint for all his work to come. Still clinging to the edgy, experimental sounds of 2000's <i>Muddlin Gear</i> and his work with Cristian Vogel as Super Collider, <i>Multiply</i> sees Lidell perfecting a jittering, funky kind of neo-soul with glimpses of dark and glitchy techno influences. Still, the title track is as blue-eyed as can be, with a chorus that would become a sing-along cadence to many of his one-man live performances. Though he'd channel even more of his Sly & The Family Stone influences on his next record, <i>Jim</i>, the emblematic nature of <i>Multiply</i> expresses Lidell at his core: funky, soulful, and just a little wilder than most.
