Jack Penate - Tonight's Today

2nd album. It's meant to be difficult. I remember hearing this track in 2009 and thinking, "Wow, that sounds awesome!" I was not a fan of Jack Penate's first album. But his 2nd album was great. It had such a wide array of influences and there seemed to be such a touch of magic on all the songs, including this slightly Afro-pop feel to this song. However, this album didn't really break him through to the mainstream, despite widespread critical acclaim and now it feels like he has mostly faded from our musical conscious, while Adele who guested on the album... well everyone knows what she has done. It's a shame though. So much more excitement is felt when an artist takes a chance...
