Her Bad Habit is the new project from producer Jimmy Edgar, known for his work on Warp Records and Detroit Underground. Originally conceived as demos for a New York based musician, the tracks were expanded upon and completed in their electronic form after the collaboration fell apart. Apparently the collaborator's girlfriend was often in the studio with Jimmy and acted as muse. But this led to her becoming infatuated with the moment, and whilst this no doubt gave the tracks extra heat, the collaboration couldn't continue with this tension and so the two artists went their separate ways. This is the situation which gave the project its name: Her Bad Habit. His collaborator's loss is Jimmy's gain, for the completed EP contains five of Jimmy Edgar's hottest productions. The EP opens with 'Lock Me Up'. There's a Chicago influence here which adds an extra dimension, plus there are echoes of Prince's 'Around The World In A Day'. Second track 'My Bad Habit' is the essence of electrofunk, driven by its pure, frustrated bass. ' Jamaica Center ' offers a lighter take, but the faster ride of 'Computer Time' takes us back to the breathless funk. 'Do', the final track on the EP, updates the Minneapolis sound with a nervous synth line and freaked keyboard solo. This is an exciting point in Jimmy's career as he combines his house and funk inspirations and takes them to new heights. Her Bad Habit's launch EP is the first in a series of Citinite projects which will have Jimmy's involvement... Tip!
