December Soul - Pt. 2

Wednesday's Hall & Oates was a serious throwback, so let's go with someone under the age of 40 today and is part of the flow of soul-inspired music coming from the UK.

Jamie Lidell is one of those guys that I didn't realize who he was until his music was used on a Target commercial:





There's something about Lidell that reminds me of Jamiroquai (whew, throw-back to the 90s).   Maybe it's his voice, or the walk on the slightly weird side that they both have.  I do enjoy his sequencing, and mix-in of beat-boxing.  His earlier work definitely is electornic dance music inspired; while his latest releases has some elements of this, it seems to be (a little) more accessible.  It will be interesting to see what he does in the future.
