Jamie T premiered his new song, ‘Tinfoil Boy’ last night - and fans are going wild trying to wrap their head around it.
The song - his first new release since 2014 comeback album Carry On The Grudge - was premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show last night. The wait was too much for some people.

Eventually though, Mac got round to playing it, and boy is it different to stuff he’s done before. The song lies in some strange land between metal, rock and pop, stitched together with squelchy synths and vocal samples.
Some fans immediately fell in love.

‘Tinfoil Boy’ was co-produced by longtime collaborator James Dring, and is thought to be the first track from an as-yet unannounced album.
