Tue, 16 Oct 2012So I dig that sleazy Detroit-lite electrofunk vibe that Jimmy Edgar's got going on. And every release of his has a few great instrumental tracks.

But the lyrics are so consistently, awkwardly bad that I'm always skipping the first 2 or 3 tracks on all his recent work to bypass the vocals.

Wed, 18 Jul 2012This is both something that he loves and something that sells. You should hear his EP's, remixes, and especially some of the more experimental stuff he puts up on soundcloud; you may change your opinion of him. The guy IS quite brilliant.

Sat, 19 May 2012Very funky, very 80's and he does not need to be Prince: there's a lot of 80s music that drank from the same influences that Prince had, and this is where Jimmy Edgar comes from.
