Jamie Lidell performs in the Soundcheck studio.

Jamie Lidell In The Studio; Hip Hop Pick Three; Saturday Night With David Lee Roth

Soundcheck | Apr 24, 2013

In this episode: English musician Jamie Lidell recorded his latest album in his new house in Nashville, Tennessee. But the record is far from homespun. He brings a soulful electro-pop performance to the studio.

Plus: Writer Sowmya Krishnamurthy joins us with a round up of three brand hip hop new tracks.

And: Most of us know David Lee Roth as the original frontman of Van Halen during the mega-rock band's peak in the early 1980s. But to BuzzFeed music editor Steve Kandell, Diamond Dave was a childhood hero. Kandell recently spent a Saturday night with his hero and lived to tell us about it.
