Rope Of Sand
May 21st, 2008 at 12:44 am (Uncategorized)
How a Electonica artist transforms himself into a bona-fide soul singer is one of the many things I don’t understand. But there is one thing that I know…Jamie Lidell has done it. Rope of Sand is off Lidell’s latest release Jim and is admittedly not really a soul sounding song at all, however it does show how many types of moods Lidell is capable of creating and exists as a haunting and hypnotic finale to an album that is primarily soulful and upbeat.
Jamie Lidell will be performing at the Opera House on June 5th. Tickets are currently on sale and quite affordable at $17.50. Word on the street is that he is touring with a live band that includes a horn section. Watch OUT!!!
I dedicate this posting to SNAX! SNAX! SNAX!

Not bad, I like the lyrics. I admit I’ve been skeptical about this character (even though this is the first song I’ve ever really listened to by him), but I can see what the hype is all about.
Don’t know if anybody’s heard Antony & the Johnsons, but this song creates the same kind of feel as some of that stuff.
