17. Wait for Me - Jamie Lidell

Yes, I realize I haven't been doing this very long and that I've already used Jamie Lidell for one song of the day. Being that I'm only familiar with this particular album, that does seem like a lot, but maybe I spoke too soon with "Little Bit of Feel Good."

I listened and sang along to "Wait for Me" yesterday on my way to Edwardsville and as I hit the back button repeatedly I got chills every time. I mentioned before, I believe, that Jamie's voice really gets me, but the emotion in this song is so strong that it's easy for anyone to feel overwhelmed if they're open to feeling the song. If you sing along, the sensation is even stronger. This is probably my favorite off the album "Jim."

2. Jamie Lidell - Little Bit of Feel Good (2008)

I always imagined that American Idol 2009's Danny Gokey should sing a similar type of music - after all, their voices do sound similar. Let's face it, I'm not a fan of Christian music, and even Danny Gokey can't make me go there.

"Little Bit of Feel Good" off Lidell's 2008 album by contrast is pretty naughty, but it's not the lyrics, the meaning of the song, or even the creepy weird video where the girl he's with has the head of a horse that attracts me to this track.

I love, love, love, love, love, love Jamie's voice and that, coupled with the funky, upbeat tempo, is bound to have me hitting repeat for a long time to come.
