Never before has an artist displayed such a limited vocal
range and achieved such success (with the possible
exception of Mike Skinner and The Streets) as Just Jack,
aka Jack Allsop.
It was wondered how much longer he could continue for,
especially after his saving grace û a funky backing track
û seemed to desert him in his last single, æWriters
BlockÆ. Thankfully, Jack has rediscovered the catchy tunes
that helped the success of æGlory DaysÆ and æStars In
Their EyesÆ and has, shock horror, finally been introduced
to the wondrous world of the backing singer, which helps
to add some much needed depth to the lyrics.
ItÆs a good job too. Ignore the chirpy backing music and
that the subject matter of the song is about a rather
tumultuous break up. It is a bizarre situation indeed when
you find yourself tapping your feet and nodding your head
and tapping your feet to such depressing lyrics - ôI hate
so many things about you, I wouldnÆt know where to startö.
That Jack manages this is testament to a return to form
with this latest single, and offers a ray of hope for the
future of the monotone crooner.
