Jamie T was one of the guests as Later…With Jools Holland continued on the BBC last night.
Appearing along side the other acts Gallant, Madness, The Divine Comedy, Beth Orton and Rag N Bone Man, he aired ‘Power Over Men‘ live on the show, taken from his latest album ‘Trick‘ – ‘a record full of authenticity, depth and cleverness‘ according to Live4ever’s review:
“If anything like that was occupying space in his mind however, Treays has done well to disguise it; ‘Trick’ has its share of arena-size tunes designed to emote for those even on Row Z.”
“True, the chippy cod-reggae of ‘Tescoland‘ is about the opposite of this effect – our American cousins not getting him – but ‘Joan Of Arc‘ is Blur type superior indie pop with accent lost, ‘Dragon Bones‘ switched on and made for “proper” dancing, whilst the anthemic blue collar heft of ‘Sign Of The Times‘ leaves him out on a limb, a long way from the Kansas of his shed and staring towards very different horizons.”
