Jamie Lidell
Cambridgeshire-born soul-tronica artist Jamie Lidell is certainly a unique proposition – his performance style is to loop beatboxed percussion and effects, before singing soulful tunes over the top.
This certainly makes for a thrilling live show (he once set a speaker on fire in Seattle) and his appeal has spread to the States, where his music has been used in adverts and Grey's Anatomy.

Jamie Lidell - Another Day
Warp
Like a more obvious Leila, the fun of listening to Jamie Lidell used to be working out why anyone would mix Motown vocals with hardcore sound processing. And then on 'Multiply' he did a straight-up crooner turn, but with some interesting, modern production.
Now he's decided that really, he was the white reincarnation of Al Green all along. The fact Green's still alive tells you that's not true, but if Lidell reckons he's made a slice of sunshine soul good enough for any time in the last 40 years, then he's dead right. RH
