Jul 12, 2016 Jamie Lidell By Christopher Roberts Photography by Lindsey Rome

Jamie Lidell has announced a new album, Building a Beginning, and shared its first single, “Walk Right Back,” via a lyric video. Building a Beginning is due out October 14 via Lidell’s own label, Jajulin. Below is “Walk Right Back,” followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art.

Building a Beginning is Lidell’s sixth album and the follow-up to 2013’s Jamie Lidell. A press release describes it as Lidell’s most personal album. The album’s second track, “Julian,” is named after Lidell’s young son, his first child. “I wanted to write something that he wants to jump around to,” Lidell says in a press release. Lidell’s wife, artist and onetime Under the Radar photographer Lindsey Rome, co-wrote the album’s lyrics and also took his press photos.

The album also features: Pino Palladino (bass, D’Angelo, Gary Numan, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton), DaRu Jones (drums, Jack White), Pat Sansone (multi-instrumentalist, Wilco), Kudisan Kai, Traci Brown Bailey, and Tiffany Smith (backup-vocals, Chaka Khan), production from Justin Stanley (Beck, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney) and Ben Ash (Two Inch Punch), and mixing from Jake Aron (Le1f, Fort Lean).
