After Mirrorwriting (2011) and Making Time (2015), Jamie Woon stepped away from releasing his own music, though he kept working with other artists including Elmiene, Lil Silva and co-producing the solo debut Unsung by Holly Walker.
The songs that became 3, 10, Why, When started through working with producer Martin Terefe, someone Jamie had been introduced to outside of the music world. “He saw what I was struggling with and hung in there with me. He sort of tricked me into making an album – we made one song, then another, then when we had ten we just said that’s the album.”
The album moves between R&B, electronics, and pop forms with a unique impressionistic twist. It flows with disquieting ease from strange, spiky percussion to lush strings. “I don’t really know how to explain this music,” Jamie admits. “It’s extraordinary to me that it exists at all.”
