ReviewsClash (Magazine) - "Playing all the parts, aided by partner Ben Bones, simply adds to the appeal of his multi-talented spirit running wild."
Additional informationAfter just one album, it may have been difficult to peg Jamie T as either a Streets imitator or an original on his own. His debut PANIC PREVENTION included flashes of brilliance, but the yowling delivery and willfully obtuse lyrics could've easily been a pose. Album number two, 2009's KINGS & QUEENS, comes with some high expectations -- PANIC PREVENTION was Mercury-nominated, after all -- and it mostly confirms that Jamie Treays has a music career in front of him if he wants it. Fortunately, he hasn't matured out of his core strengths: his vitality, his expressiveness, and his knack for twisting the vagaries of everyday life for urban youth into material for songs.
