Multiply
by Jamie Lidell
The 3104th greatest album of all time
Multiply is Jamie Lidell's 2005 album that blends classic soul vocalism with electronic production, combining house-influenced rhythms, downtempo grooves, and warm synth textures. Lidell pairs raw, expressive singing and occasional vocal processing with beat-driven, sample-based arrangements to create concise, groove-forward songs that bridge soul, electronic and pop sensibilities. The record is notable for bringing a live, emotive vocal approach into an electronic production context and for its accessible mix of danceable rhythms and intimate performances.
