Jam City's New Album 'My World' Is Packed With Collaborators—Yet It's His Most Personal Record Yet

British producer Jack Latham returns with his debut Mad Decent album 'My World,' with the title track bringing in Aidan, Bawo, and Ox Eye on vocals. He calls it the work that feels "closest to himself."

Jam City's New Album 'My World' Is Packed With Collaborators—Yet It's His Most Personal Record Yet

"I just kept digging deeper into my own world, and ended up making the most 'me' thing I've ever done in my life." There's a bit of a contradiction in Jack Latham's words—an album billed as his most personal, most intimate work, yet stacked with collaborator credits. Across nine tracks, Aidan shows up three times, while Solv, Bawo, Hannah Yadi, Luna Avelar, Gianna, and Ox Eye each leave their mark. This isn't someone locking the door and talking to himself—it's more like pulling a whole crowd into his own room.

Jam City is Latham's longtime alias, and this time he's bringing 'My World,' set for release on September 23 via Mad Decent—his debut full-length on the label, and the follow-up to 2023's 'Jam City Presents EFM.' Leading the charge is the title track "My World," an R&B cut laced with unease featuring Aidan, Bawo, and Ox Eye on vocals. Latham describes the whole song as having a "queasy" texture—not the sweet, easy-to-love kind of R&B, but a version that's a little nauseating, a little off-balance.

In an Instagram post, he wrote: "Huge thanks to all the collaborators who turned this little thing into a full album—I think this might be the best work I've ever made." The same post mentions that a "club mix" of "My World" has also been released simultaneously. It's not on YouTube yet, but a 10-minute dub mix is available to stream.

The album's tracklist runs as follows: "My World" (feat. Aidan, Bawo & Ox Eye), "Hung Up" (feat. Aidan & Hannah Yadi), "Pure Vice" (feat. Solv & Aidan), "Cash Fast Interlude," "Lucky" (feat. Solv), "Little Vice" (feat. Aidan), "Trippin" (feat. Luna Avelar), "2AM" (feat. Gianna), and the closing track "Venice Loop." Nine songs, six different collaborators—this "My World" feels less like a solo confession and more like a studio with people constantly coming and going.
