Undoubtedly, Compass is his most eclectic album yet. Songs shift, chop, change and mutate genres and forms before our very ears. It’s got funk in spades; the jaw-dropping power of the vocals is stronger than ever; it rocks, it pops, it’s sweet, angry, hard, soulful and soft, often within the span of a single track. It’s the restless album that finally matches the soul of its creator. Musically and lyrically Compass is certainly A Jamie Lidell Joint-reflecting not just his exhilarating, diverse tastes, but also a year of change, love, longing and arrival at a new place.
