What a difference a day made jamie cullum
Twentysomething is the second studio album by Jamie Cullum. It was released on October 20, 2003 in Europe, and in May, 2004 in the United States and became his most commercially successful album. The album went on to sell three million copies, and achieved eleven platinum, eleven gold and two silver sales awards. It is the fastest-selling jazz album in chart history and its sales lead to Jamie ending 2003 as the UK's highest selling jazz artist in history.

Reception
In a negative review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau wrote, "This Brit is good enough at what he does to make you wonder why he bothers. With Norah Jones putting young-person-with-old-ideas shtick in the bank, the commercial logic we get. But beyond a cross-generational reach achievable in any genre and a swinging musicality he negotiates with too much heavy breathing, what's the artistic payoff?"
