Jack Penate

I can't remember where I first read about Jack Peñate, but he seems to be destined for big things this year. He has a deal with XL Recordings and makes irresistibly catchy pop songs, if a bit hyper-active and all over the map. He has become known for his dance style, which is a little rockabilly and 100% cute if you swoon over British boys like I do. There is not a release date for a full-length yet but you can get the Spit at Stars EP, which I have been enjoying for a few weeks now. Just when you think you have him pegged, he surprises you with a tender ballad like "My Yvonne". I discovered my next featured artist, Adele, when I sought out the name of the female singing with him on "My Yvonne". I really dig the xylophone on "Spit At Stars" - a nice touch.

The links don't work :(

I was looking forward to hearing My Yvonne. Spit At Stars & Torn On The Platform on the Zane Lowe show before and they're real crackers of songs. There's something really appealing about the energy in his songs.

Try now. Filexoom was down for a few days I think.

YES! I love his energy and the tilde in his last name. Cute!
