Jack Latham has a rare gift for making electronic music that feels both deeply intimate and built for a massive room. Working under his Jam City moniker, the UK producer has just dropped “2am” a stunning collaboration with London singer-songwriter Gianna that acts as the latest preview of his upcoming album, My World.

Set for release on September 23 via Earthly, My World follows up on his recent work and promises a deeper dive into his distinct production style. If “2am” is any indication, the record is going to hit that sweet spot between melancholic pop and late-night club culture.

What Does Jam City’s “2am” Sound Like?

The track is a brilliant exercise in contrast. It starts out feeling fragile and isolated—just a flickering acoustic piano and Gianna’s delicate, ethereal vocals echoing in the dark. It feels like a quiet bedroom ballad until heavy, thunderous breakbeats suddenly tear through the mix. That pivot transforms the song into a piece of peak-time, cosmic trip-hop that lingers long after it finishes.

Latham has described the overarching vibe of My World as a “half-remembered dream-soundtrack of suburban England on the cusp of a hedonistic weekend.” “2am” nails that exact mood—it captures that disorienting blur between quiet introspection and weekend adrenaline.

A Producer Who Bridges the Underground and Pop

If the name Jam City sounds familiar beyond the UK electronic underground, it’s because Latham’s fingerprints are all over modern pop and alternative music. Beyond his own records—from early boundary-pushing club staples like Classical Curves to recent projects—he has built a massive production and writing resume. He helped shape Kelela’s landmark Take Me Apart album and has collaborated with everyone from David Byrne and Troye Sivan to Olivia Rodrigo and Lil Yachty.

That cross-pollination of genres explains why “2am” works so effortlessly. It takes traditional singer-songwriter sensibilities and filters them through inventive, club-ready electronics.
