Jamie Cullum

Jamie Cullum ft. Roots Manuva - Love for sale

A modern and edgy rendition of an old time classic that has been sung by many of the greats including Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Charlie Parker also has an amazing version. Jamie Cullum has  managed to bring an element of modernity to the song using a gritty and urban sounding beat and bass line that interweaves beautifully with the jazzy backdrop. He has also recruited Roots Manuva in to express his rhythmic poetry and this compliments the track perfectly. Add a Brit-flick esq music video with a few interesting cameos into the mix and I think you're onto a winner.
