Cross the DNA of Otis Redding, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Biz Markie and Lionel Richie, ADD an R&B fusion band that harmonizes like the choir from Forest Gump, and MULTIPLY this by the communal feeling that no one would rather be anywhere else and you’re front and center for Jamie Lidell night one at LOLAfest.
If you like BIG beats and layers of soulful harmonies, this cat has you covered. Decked out in an arm-pitless and ‘dazzling’ sequined jacket that would have Sir Elton drooling, Lidell lives up to the pressure of sporting something so sleek. How does he do it? Straight up soul by the pound; that’s how, doggies. Forget indie, or underground as hip hoppers tend to refer to it for just a minute: Lidell has the kind of star quality and humility that has the emotional force to connect generations.
If you’re a downer, you might not like Lidell. On second thought, after listening to a handful of bass-y beats, you’ll need turn you’re life around because time-is-a-tick'in and up tempo, goosebump inducing soul music is in demand. Liven up your soul and join Jamie Lidell & Co on cloud nine.
Enjoy the video content and beware of the bass when you be rock’in dis for you’re co-workers. Jamie Lidell will appear on London Calling Season IV, EP II when the team presents their findings from LOLAfest.
Some people's parents are doing it right.
