Album Review: Jamie T - Trick

Purveyor of weirdness and real-talk spittin' songster Jamie T's fourth studio album, Trick, is a record of importance disguised as a dark, fuzzy journey.

If you could represent the album as a room, that room would be a hot, blurry basement filled with unsavoury characters like those found in Police Tapes. From opening track Tinfoil Boy, Jamie T shows off his ability to spit mad rhymes, particularly in Drone Strike, reminiscent of his Carry On The Grudge days. The album is peppered with voice-overs and muffled narration in tracks like Tescoland. It's a clever, thoughtful piece of work, with witty lyrical content and catchy riffs and hooks.
