The discography of British singer-songwriter RJ Thompson consists of two studio albums, one live album, one demo album, three extended plays and three singles.[1] His first official release was the 11-track Illogical Life, which was released on the iTunes Store on 10 July 2006.[2] Thompson later called Illogical Life a "collection of demos" rather than his first studio release. In 2007 he started releasing EPs. The first of these was the Acoustic Sessions EP on 9 July 2007.[3] Following three years of extensive touring, Thompson returned with the singles "A Better Life" and "When I Get Old" in 2011, which were also featured on The Cognitive Rules EP later the same year. The EP was mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road Studios.[4][5] In 2014 he released the single "The Numbers", which also featured a cover of Jimmy Webb's "Highwayman" as a B-side,[6] and followed it up with the House Upon the Hill EP on 24 November 2014 (mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios).[7][8] Thompson returned with his live album, simply titled Live, on 4 July 2016.

In 2017, Thompson released his first official studio album, Echo Chamber.

In October 2020, Thompson released his second album Lifeline. In March 2021, the album received a physical release.
