Jamie Lenman: "We all have dark moments, don’t we?"

Those romantic, carefree days of 2019, with Jamie Lenman in his bold red suit belting out his reimagined version of Cyndi Lauper's 'She Bop' or 'Hey Jude' by The Beatles seem like a lifetime ago. In 'Shuffle', the enigmatic singer scratched a creative itch which resulted in a unique record that included a scene from Taxi Driver, a reading from Moby Dick and a gargantuan retake of the Popeye theme tune. The album was, ultimately, a gamble that paid off as it seemed in equal measure that, as important as it was for Jamie Lenman to make, it was just as much fun for the listener to go on this weird and wonderful voyage into the fascinating mind of the man.
Now, the mood has changed. In all the pictures it's a black suit and a scowl that reads "no more Mr. Nice Guy". The harsh light makes his cheekbones razor-sharp and, depending on the photo, his eyes are either a murderous stare or, worse, not there at all. For 'King of Clubs', Jamie Lenman is more than just a little irate.
"I mean, we all have dark moments, don't we?" he reasons, when it's pointed out that in person he is one of the most charming people you could ever have the pleasure of meeting.
