Jamie Lidell - Multiply

the best of 2005 part 1Jamie Lidell Multiply
Jamie Lidell - "Multiply"
(Warp)

Prince? Faut arrêter d'écouter juste les 2-3 premiers tracks des disques que vous recevez les gars? Jamie Lidell a décidé qu'il pouvait tout faire. Et il le prouve avec ces 10 productions bigarrées et autant d'exercices de styles sur lesquels il fait des prouesses avec sa voix de crooner improbable. Oui improbable, car si l'on s'en réfère à ses sorties précédents, avec Christian Vogel au sein de Super-Collider (en 1999 et 2002), par exemple, ou à son premier album ("Muddlin Gear", déjà chez Warp, en 2000), rien n'indique que le jeune homme va partir faire un grand tour de montagnes russes de soul du 21ème siècle. Enfin, improbable, en même temps pas tant que ça pour ceux qui auront suivi sa carrière en détail. On retrouvait en effet Jamie Lidell sur les derniers opus de Matthew Herbert ("Everything's Changed" et "The Many And The Few" sur "Goodbye Swingtime" signé du Matthew Herbert Big Band) ou de Ark ("R2D2" sur l'album chefdoeuvriesque "Caliente", voir ci-dessus), auprès de qui il laissa une marque indélébile du type "c'est vraiment le plus grand chanteur que je connaisse, il a une voix extraordinaire". Les quelques rares qui auront percutés ces 2-3 titres attendaient ce "Multiply" avec impatience. Une attente largement récompensée par un album incomparable de soul kaléidoscopique.

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
