''Multiply'' is a studio album by Jamie Lidell. It was released by Warp Records in 2005. Unusually for Warp, which for many years released mainly electronic music, the album has much in common with soul and funk music.

Critical reception

At '' Metacritic'', which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ''Multiply'' received an average score of 84% based on 24 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Jonathan Keefe, writing for Slant, praised the album's mixture of classic soul and modern dance music while commenting on its departure from Warp's usual sound, saying "It’s hard to imagine what Warp’s post- IDM demographic might make of ''Multiply'', but it’s an album fully deserving of finding a massive fanbase across multiple genres of more mainstream pop." Mark Pytlik wrote a similarly positive review for Pitchfork, stating that "''Multiply'' represents Lidell's dramatic transformation from a knob-twiddling laptopper to a red-blooded soul singer." Additionally, Pitchfork placed it at number 189 on its list of top 200 albums of the 2000s, calling it "a remarkable statement made by a remarkable artist."
