SINGLE OF THE WEEK
Sticks n Stones
Jamie TSome two and a half years after the release of his Mercury nominated debut album ‘Panic Prevention’, Jamie T is set to return this year with a series of releases that will cement his status as one of the UK’s most genuine and exciting young musicians. First up, his brand new single Sticks n Stones; trademark Jamie, a hugely hooky and euphoric party banger that urges you to “run with the believers” which was recorded in his garden shed studio. Jamie is set to appear at some of this years biggest music festivals and he’s already announced that he will be hitting Aussie shores in September for a nationwide tour. His sophomore album will follow later this year, as yet, it's still unnamed but it will feature 11 brand new tracks!
