Jamie T - Trick

2016 release, the fourth album from the British singer/songwriter. The album is filled with the kind of brave and eclectic rock/punk/reggae/rap/pop celebration that only Jamie T could make. Trick is the follow-up to 2014's Top 5 album Carry On The Grudge that ended a five year hiatus. At beginning and end, it is the darkest, toughest and most pessimistic of his decade in the limelight. But in the middle, it's a rock 'n' roll party album: albeit an edgy, punky reggae party where lost girls clash with 17th century prophets of doom, exiled Brits clash with deserted American cities, trad-rock guitars clash with speed raps and dubby basslines. The album was recorded and co-produced with long-time collaborator James Dring at The Premises and Moloko Studios in London, and partially recorded at High Bias in Detroit.
