Jamie Lidell: Another Day
The new single from Jamie Lidell is ‘Another Day’.
It’s the first track on his new album “Jim” which is released tomorrow 28th April.
To quote the PR guys….”Jim is ten very different songs. Jim is energy, integrity, emotion. Jim is all about the hooks. Jim is getting the sounds absolutely right. Jim is keeping things fresh. Jim is the voice. Jim is Jamie and Jamie is Jim.”
“…Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small hours. It’s a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R & B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of ‘hillbilly funk’. “
I like the new single….watch the video and make your own mind up.

Leaf: Life’s A Beach
I decided I wanted something fun, uplifting, and summery to listen to today so I selected Leaf on my MP3 player.Then I got to thinking that I haven’t seen much posted about these guys.
Time to correct that then!
What can I tell you about them?
- They are abso-bloody-lutely marvellous.
- They come from Utrecht in Netherlands
- There are five of them.
- They play mainly acoustic tracks, but I defy you to not think there’s a bigger band in there somewhere.
- They are abso-bloody-lutely marvellous. (I know I already said that….but it’s true!)
- They released their debut album – Life’s A Beach in 2006.
- It was recorded live, on the beach.
Here’s three tracks for you to sample:
- Leaf – Wonderwoman
- Leaf – Motherfucker
- Leaf – You And Her
Watch the video: ‘Wonderwoman’
Watch the video: ‘New Song’
Watch the video: ‘July’ (Live performance)
Buy the album. Most albums have some tracks that are not so hot. THIS ONE DOESN’T.
Did I say they are abso-bloody-lutely marvellous?
