By way of invention former....what was it, again? New Brit talent, LDN icon...however formerly described, Jack Peñate returns with a modest new sound clearly more in debt to reinvention than absolute honesty.
Something within the Latino beats of “Tonight’s Today” does not communicate with complete clarity the voice of the man behind “Second Minute or Hour”. Repeated plays of the song drills the unfulfilling chorus into the head but only because of its familiarity to the sound of a kid with ADHD poking a parent up the nose with a cone of candyfloss.
The associated video is some bizarre circus act which has taken all the best bits from Madonna’s “Justify My Love” video with the addition of elephant footed abstract imagery. A certain Ms Allen turned a corner with success; Jack sadly has met a wall.
