The eminent songwriter and performer has just started his new album journey with the catchy single "Extra Spicy Noodles". It is not an ode to the noodles that the Danish Food and Drug Administration has had to recall, on the contrary, the song is about complicated love. A persistent attempt to save the relationship, but only a little helps. He says about the single:

“When love becomes complicated, frustrating and ultimately non-existent, we tend to throw ourselves into headless feverish rescues like an exotic trip or a new fucking couch. It's like noodles: it tastes ok, but provides absolutely no nutrition. And if you want to feel that you are alive, you spice up the portion and numb all emotions.”

The single is a precursor to IAMJJ's fourth studio album, and the next preview is set to be released on September 27th, titled “Moonshine”.

"IAMJJ has never sounded better" wrote GAFFA about the last album Echoes From An Inner War from 2022, from which the singles "Coat", "Fluffy White Cloud" and not least "Your Parents House" have been played extensively on Danish radio.

In 2018, the debut album was released,Bloody Future, where his drawling, deep voice and dark melancholic melodies impressed audiences and reviewers. It was followed up byTake It Slow On Me. The two albums and singles such as "Homer", "Hitamolo", "Take It Slow On Me" and "My Two Eyes" have brought IAMJJ around the biggest festivals and beyond the country's borders.

I 2023 udgav Knægt sit første album Månen Danser Pænest, der blandt andet høstede roser i medier som P6, P4, P3, Jyllands Posten, Fyens Stiftstidende og GAFFA, hvoraf sidstnævnte kvitterede med fem stjerner og ordene: “… det er mere end lovende 29 minutter, Malte Nordtorp giver os, og vi kunne sagtens have ønsket en spilletid på det dobbelte, hvis det her er niveauet. En debut, der både stråler kreativt og musikalsk”

Sidenhen har den trompetspillende forsanger givet koncerter rundt i hele landet med sin kvintet, der navigerer legesygt rundt mellem improvisationer og ørehængende hooks. På samme måde fokuserer Malte Nordtorp på at balancere mellem det alvorlige og afslappede med en stærk sans for at ramme lytteren, hvor det gælder. Knægt har blandt andet modtaget Odense Lives Talent Legat.
