Jamie Lidell is an album by Jamie Lidell released in 2013 and produced by Lidell and Justin Stanley in Lidell's Nashville, Tennessee studio. [1] The lead single, "What a Shame," was released on YouTube on Nov 16, 2012. [2]
Lidell cited Janet Jackson as the inspiration for the album, saying "I got into ' Rhythm Nation' and ' Control' and thought 'these are amazing songs, why don't they make them like this anymore? I want to make them like that!' So that's what kicked it off for me." [3] Lidell added, "it’s the sound of the era I was going for, that [Janet Jackson] ' Rhythm Nation' vocal sound.” [4]

Consequence of Sound ranked the album four out of five stars, while Pitchfork gave the album a mediocre review. [11] [15] The album's blend of synthesized electropop and "futuristic" industrial music was praised and likened to Janet Jackson's 1986 album Control by About.com. [16] The electronic drum intro of "Big Love" was also described as reminiscent of Jackson's hit " The Pleasure Principle." [17]
Spin gave the album an 8 out of 10, "Though the Minneapolis Sound is new territory for Lidell, he capably imports the dweeby, self-doubting, cyborg- Lothario persona that made Multiply a hit, now with enough confidence that a song like "You Naked" hits a bullseye that earlier incarnations would’ve missed".
