The Theory Of Whatever is confirmed to be released on 29th July via Polydor Records, and will include his single “The Old Style Raiders” (watch official video here). In a recent interview discussing the meaning of his lead single, Jamie stated, “It’s fighting to find something that means enough to you that you love. The fight to find that, and to carry on striving, to find something you love enough to hold on to” adding, “Rather than kid love or movie love or gushy love or lust love, whatever you have when you’re younger – it’s actually trying to fight for something that means more than that. It’s the struggle to find that.”

The singer-songwriter, from Wimbledon was just 19 years old when he started his career in 2005. 17 years later fans are just as (if not more) excited to see what 36 year-old indie star is going to bring to the table now in 2022.

In a recent interview speaking to BBC Radio 1 about his return, Jamie spoke about his anxiety of getting back on the horse and creating new music, saying “I was struggling to find my direction with the record for a few years, really… I went home one day, and I found this track that I had recorded, pretty much fully finished. And I was really upset, because I realised that I’d spent the last six months asking other people to tell me if something was good. Then I heard this track and I just immediately knew I’d kind of found my path.” Jamie has also articulated his excitement to get back on stage next week adding, “I missed being in a room with people and playing music…I miss getting in a place with people and have sweat dripping from the ceiling.”
