Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"I think that’s the scrappiest version I've ever done of that in my life," mutters Jamie T. He's just finished playing "Brand New Bass Guitar", the first track on debut album Panic Prevention - but the fact it makes the cut says a lot about the free-wheeling, spontaneous spirit of this Wimbledon-born singer-songwriter. Equal parts Joe Strummer and Dizzee Rascal, Jamie narrates witty, filthy, sometimes tragic tales of London life peppered with patois and accompanied by cheap drum-machine beats and the twang of an acoustic bass guitar. That's not to say these songs sound in any way half-formed. On the contrary, in fact, apparently disparate sounds – post-Libertines garage rattle, bumping ska, UK hip-hop - gel neatly thanks to Jamie's garrulous charisma and brassy, clever wordplay. "Salvador" is a driving, spooked slice of punk-blues that couches tales of nightclub pulling in feral, predatory terms, while the deceptively sing-along "Shelia" conceals a tragic narrative of assorted alcoholics and various ne'er do wells that meet with various sticky ends. It's a dangerous, cutthroat London that Jamie roams, but importantly, Panic Prevention makes it sound like ruddy, bloody good fun from start to close.--Louis Pattison
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the latest London MC/producers to follow in the formidable footsteps of The Streets, Jamie T mixes up an earnest slack-rap style with influences that range from reggae-inspired post punk bands like The Clash to drum & bass, electronica, hip hop and even a splash of Tom Waits-roguery. His eclectic, guitar-wielding approach has spawned a spread of intriguing singles – "Calm Down Dearest", "Sheila", "If You've Got The Money" – all of which have built up a buzz for the release of his debut album. As joyously shambolic as all you'd expect given his earlier work, Panic Prevention seems to tick a number of different boxes while occupying its own singular niche. Off-kilter concoctions like "Dry Off Your Cheeks" counter-balance the almost-pop of "Salvador" and the jaunty "So Lonely Was The Ballad". Though decidedly rambling, the project displays Jamie's impressive ability to pull off some pretty wild sound experiments, and confirms the incisive nature of his "urban" lyricism. Even better, it makes you wonder what this clearly precocious scenester will dare to cook up next. --Paul Sullivan.
