Jamie T has shared a new song, alongside details of his first show in five years.
The Old Style Raiders marks the first taster of the South London singer-songwriter's upcoming fifth studio album, 'The Theory Of Whatever', due out on July 29 via Polydor.
Produced by former Maccabees guitarist Hugo White, the indie-rock track delivers rapid-fire vocals and a rousing, anthemic chorus. It premiered as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record and comes teamed with a Niall Trask-directed video.
"I was struggling to find my direction with the record for a few years, really," Jamie revealed. "I went home one day, and I found this track that I had recorded, pretty much fully finished. And I was really upset, because I realised that I’d spent the last six months asking other people to tell me if something was good. Then I heard this track and I just immediately knew I’d kind of found my path."
"It’s got hope in it," he added. "It’s fighting to find something that means enough to you that you love. The fight to find that, and to carry on striving, to find something you love enough to hold on to.
"Rather than kid love or movie love or, gushy love or lust love, whatever you have when you’re younger – it’s actually trying to fight for something that means more than that. It's the struggle to find that."
Along with the new single, Jamie T has confirmed an intimate gig at London's Subterania on May 11. Tickets are available to those who pre-order the follow-up to 2017's 'Trick' from Jamie's official store by 5pm BST today (May 5).
