Jamie T Announces Sixth Album 'Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning)' With Lead Single '3310'
Jamie T will release his sixth studio album, Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning), on 9 October via Polydor Records. The announcement came through his official Instagram and TikTok accounts on 18 August, with the single '3310' arriving as the first preview (Billboard).
The album runs to 11 tracks and opens with '3310', named after the Nokia phone that became a cultural touchstone at the turn of the millennium. Jamie T wrote and produced the single with James Dring, who also shares production duties across the record (Stereoboard). The accompanying video, directed by Rob Thorogood, was filmed at the seaside (Billboard).
Ghosts also features production from Damon Albarn, and includes a track called 'Cocktail' on which Albarn collaborates (The Line of Best Fit). The full tracklist, as listed on Jamie T's official store, includes a song titled 'Tallahassee' alongside the opener '3310' (Jamie T Shop).
Polydor is releasing the album across multiple physical formats through Jamie T's online shop: a deluxe CD, a standard LP, an alternative-artwork LP with a bonus 7-inch single, a collectors bundle, and an alternative artwork bundle (Jamie T Shop).
For listeners tracking Jamie T's chart history, the bar is already high. His 2022 album The Theory Of Whatever debuted at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, the weekly ranking of the country's best-selling albums. Every album he has released has landed in the top 10 of that chart, a streak that began with his 2007 debut Panic Prevention, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize, the annual award for the best album by a U.K. or Irish artist (Billboard).
He has been active between albums, too. Jamie T collaborated with the producer Fred Again.. on the single 'Lights Burn Dimmer', which samples and reworks his own 2023 track 'Hippodrome'. In February he briefly joined Fred Again.. on stage at Alexandra Palace during the producer's USB002 tour residency. That followed his biggest-ever headline show, at London's Finsbury Park on 1 July 2023, with support sets from IDLES and Kojey Radical. He has also performed at Glastonbury Festival several times, including a headline slot on the Woodsies Stage in 2022 (Billboard).
Fans will get an early listen to Ghosts material before October. Jamie T is scheduled to play an intimate one-off gig at London's Scala on 20 August, where he is expected to preview songs from the new record (Billboard).
With Albarn in the production chair and Dring back behind the boards, Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning) brings together two creative relationships from different corners of Jamie T's career. The album arrives 19 years after his debut, and the 9 October release puts it squarely in the autumn release corridor that labels favour for fourth-quarter sales.
