Trick

Bravado fully restored, Jamie T hits a career high. If 2014’s <i>Carry on the Grudge</i> was the welcome sound of the singer/songwriter recharting course after a five-year absence, this captures an artist with wind in his sails. <i>Trick</i> plays out like a Jamie T greatest hits: “Drone Strike<” is a twitchy mosh-pit botherer, “Power Over Men” sultry and sharp, while “Crossfire Love” sways by evocatively in that half rapped-half sung style no one executes better.
