King of Clubs.
On this episode we speak to Jamie Lenman. Formerly the frontman and principal songwriter for British alt-rockers Reuben, singer, guitarist, and illustrator Jamie Lenman launched a solo career after the band went on indefinite hiatus.
Lenman returned to illustrating, but continued to compose sporadically, and in 2014 decided to complete his unfinished song ideas with the help of a friend. The result was his debut solo album, Muscle Memory, which had a much broader stylistic range than his work with , incorporating jazz and folk elements. His second solo effort, Devolver, followed in 2017.
2019 saw Lenman team up with producer Space who had recorded Devolver to work on a collection of covers. Shuffle, which was issued that year, saw Lenman taking on not just a selection of his favorite songs by other artists, but an eclectic mix of spoken word pieces from novels, movie soundtracks, and video game music as well. 2020 saw Lenman returning to his songwriting roots with the release of the mini-album King of Clubs.
