Starz In Their Eyes

Just Jack

Mercury

WE SAY

Just Jack’s second single on Mercury is this witty lyrical stab at celebrity-obsessed culture. Musically and lyrically, he’s a breath of fresh air and this track is perfect for mainstream radio. His recent appearance on Later…with Jools Holland has embellished his already building live reputation. Well done to Mercury for making a talent as interesting as Jack a priority. He has the songs and the stage presence to be one of 2007’s big successes. The anticipated album Overtones drops on Jan 29. JF London gig: 28 Nov, Cargo EC2
