Jamie Lidell: When I Come Back Around
From Multiply (Warp, 2005)

Jamie Lidell’s new album has been getting favorable reviews across the board, so I won’t waste any more time giving it its due props. “When I Come Back Around” finds Lidell crooning over a snappy programmed beat punctuated by short bass licks and horn stabs. Remarkably, this song manages to sound completely organic although each part remains identifiably synthetic. Proof that “laptop funk” is not an oxymoron.

    I'd been waiting for this album to come out for a while, and I was not dissapointed, I ordered it a couple of weeks ago from warp, and it's quite perfect all the way through. I think it's great you chose lidell to write about!
