Jamie T shares catchy new single ‘Hippodrome’

Jamie T has released a tuneful new single ahead of his biggest headline show to date at Finsbury Park. The single is a melodic track with a nod back to the past in its nostalgic beat being co-produced by Olly Burden. 

‘Hippodrome’ follows his return from last year's album ‘The Theory Of Whatever’ back in 2022. The new single carries the vigour and vibrancy of old and recalls some of the musician’s finest melodies with his typically raucous energy. 

His distinctively gritty vocals return as this marks his first release of new music in 2023, with its quirky lyrics “I love John Cleese / A cucumber / I’m cool as ice” and interesting repertoire of sound, it looks set to become a classic new tune. 

A summer anthem for your summer soundtrack, this single is a future classic with its clever lyrics and soulful melody. Jamie T paints a familiar setting of a night out at the West End’s famous venue Hippodrome. The indie king never fails to encapsulate the spirit of nights out and summer nostalgia.

His lyrical talent is immense as he conjures vivid images and strong familiar feelings of wistfulness (“Street light flickers / Feel it in my blood / You know I’m all love”). With his attractive, laid-back hip-hop vocals, his bedroom indie sound is eclectic to say the least, injected with his own mashup of influences and independent take on pop.

With a multitude of stellar albums, we look forward to what direction his music will take this year.
