One Word Tells Me Everything

I've been listening to the Jamie Lidell album on Warp Records. It's really great and I feel like it came out of nowhere. Back story goes, as told by Rob, that he's this british electronic artist who just recorded a straight up soul/r&b album and did it perfectly. It's one of the few albums this year that is everything I expected it to be and I have high expectations.

Example: The White Stripes song My Doorbell is exactly one minute too long.

So the Jamie Lidell album sounds like a more Justin Timberlake Jamirquoi but without all that electronic crap.

Also, Kelly Osborne looks hot in her new* video for the song One Word. The song is pretty good. I like the chorus but it repeats way too much. It could have had a bigger drum sound. Could have not been so droney. I miss when she rocked.

*Video may not actually be new at all.

The video inspired me to make a list of singers in videos I want to see strut down hallways like Kelly did.

1. Gwen Stefani
2. Annie
3. Robyn
4. Missy Elliot
5. M.I.A.
6. Prince
