“Jamie T album 5. Done. Seriously looking forward to 2022!” tweets Jag Jago, the producer Jamie T has been working alongside for just over a year.
Rumours that the indie superstar had started recording his new album began to surface in early 2021 as Carl Barát, of The Libertines, shared in an instagram caption: “Da boys in the band… Been cookin’ up some dope lit sick shiz innit”.
Fans of the early 2000s icon have no idea what to expect as his previous album Trick released in 2016 and the collection of B sides released in 2018 span from Shoe Gaze in tracks such as “Meet Me On The Corner”, soft metal in Fire Fire to his more quirky signature style seen in “Dragon Bones” that takes after his most popular records. Think; “Sheila”, “Zombie” and “Sticks N Stones”.
Although the album’s release date is yet to be confirmed, and the original Jag Jago tweet has since been deleted, fans are eager to hear the album in the months to come with one person writing “Hearing Jamie T has completed his new album. What a start to the Year”

Since he was catapulted into the British Indie music scene nearly fifteen years ago. Jamie T’s career has always been one of gradual and continual success. From the release of his first album, Panic Prevention in 2007 he quickly became a voice for the generation growing up alongside him. His music often discusses the struggles of teens (now turned millennials) growing up in Britain during the technological revolution of the early 2000s. Jamie T has been the voice of young England for nearly two decades and there is no doubt he will continue to scribe from a personal stand point and contort these lyrics over truly unique instrumentals (perhaps we will see drum beats complimented by the acapella ‘boom baps’ seen on the catchy spoken word/rap tune “Down To The Subway.”) Put simply, Jamie T is a British musical icon, proof of that being the five NME awards he has be rewarded during his time in the British music community.
Fans and music lovers alike can only hope this next album will have been worth the nearly six year hiatus since his last studio album. We suspect fans may also want to keep their eyes out for a new tour and festival line ups to come as we move into another music defining era for Jamie T.
