Jamie T tips his hat to Lily Allen, The Streets and Prodigy mastermind Liam Howlett on Tallahassee, name\u2011dropping the figures who helped shape his place in Britain\u2019s musical DNA.<\/p>\n The latest track from the indie favourite\u2019s eagerly anticipated Ghosts (100 Days of Morning) has landed today (18.09.26), sampling Canadian folk singer Leif Vollebekk and pulling in the artists who have coloured his own musical journey.<\/p>\n He sings: “I’m the soundtrack to your university years like Lily Allen<\/p>\n “I’ve got so much s*** around my bed, you better call me Tracy<\/p>\n “I’m Paul Heaton<\/p>\n “Because the only thing you’ll ever hear round here is magic<\/p>\n “I’m Liam Howlett in 1991.”<\/p>\n Written in the early hours of June 30 2023 – hours before his career\u2011defining Finsbury Park show – the song captures Jamie wrestling with self\u2011doubt, joking, \u201cI\u2019m just a plagiarist\u201d as he leans into the track\u2019s confessional tone.<\/p>\n Jamie says choosing Vollebekk\u2019s original Tallahassee came from a personal place. He explained: \u201cI chose to sample Leif’s song as it means the world to me. His version has been a constant through some hard personal times in my life, so it felt fitting.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that the track emerged during a moment of pressure and reflection. He went on: \u201cI wrote it before an important moment for complete validation for all the years of work I had put in. The song is almost me trying and failing to give myself a pep talk in the mirror before the biggest show of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n To accompany the release, Jamie has shared a new video (below) directed by Rob Thorogood. The clip continues the visual thread from album opener 3310, sending the name\u2011checked Ferrari Testarossa down winding country roads at sunrise, intercut with scenes of Jamie performing beside the car and an ice\u2011cream van – a nod to classic British seaside nostalgia.<\/p>\n Jamie has also confirmed a run of intimate UK shows starting October 9, with dates in Dundee, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough, Nottingham, Norwich, Kingston, Bristol, Oxford and Southampton. Album\u2011and\u2011ticket bundles are available through participating record stores<\/a>.<\/p>\n The October shows lead into his fast\u2011selling nationwide December tour. The run begins in Birmingham on December 6 and 7, includes sold\u2011out nights at London\u2019s newly redeveloped Olympia on December 11 and 12, and continues through Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow (December 15 and 17) and Manchester before wrapping up in Brighton on December 20.<\/p>\n
