Jamie T drops Ghosts album and anthemic single 3310
Jamie T is diving deep into the shadows of his past, announcing his forthcoming album Ghosts (100 Days of Morning), set to arrive on October 9th via Polydor Records. This highly anticipated project is heralded as a collection of former ‘ghosts’—ideas brought to life during a particularly formative period in his life.
The album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s an exploration of the complex human experience: grappling with growing up, leaving youth behind, navigating love and loss, and the determined quest to shed former selves to embrace a new identity. It’s an honest reflection on the internal landscape of transformation.
Kicking off this sonic journey is the electrifying single 3310, a track dominated by bold lyricism and lively guitar work that immediately captures attention. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Rob Thorogood, shot beautifully at the seaside, perfectly mirroring the transient feeling of waking up for the day or leaving for a morning jog.
The visuals capture that fleeting moment where reality blurs, underscoring the theme of rediscovery. Jamie T shared the emotional core behind the record, noting that everyone keeps a part of themselves at arm’s length. “Ghosts” represents seeing that version of yourself for the first time in a long time and trying to hold onto it. For him, the album is essentially an attempt to find that lost self again.
The tracklist for Ghosts (100 Days of Morning) features eleven tracks, including the lead single 3310, alongside deeply personal pieces such as Cocktail, Waist 36 Leg 32, and the evocative cover of The Jam’s classic, Ghosts.
The album release comes amidst a period of intense activity for Jamie T. Having recently delivered his largest-ever headline show at Finsbury Park in 2023, he shared the stage with major acts like IDLES, Kojey Radical, and Fred Again.., culminating in the collaborative single Lights Burn Dimmer. T has also joined Fred Again.. for a run of shows, participating in the 10 shows in 10 weeks in 10 cities tour.
The announcement of the new album and single appeared first on NME, setting the stage for a deeply personal and musically vibrant new chapter from the artist.
