Jack Penate Album Inspired By Sex With 'Big Black Women'

Jack Penate has revealed that his debut album has been partly inspired by a Tim Buckley record which touches on the subject of having sex with “loads of big black women.”

The cheeky cockney chap releases ‘Matinee’ through XL Records on October 1 and admits that Jeff Buckley’s dad has been a big influence on its sound.

Penate said: “Tim Buckley’s a big influence on the album. There’s this album by him called ‘Goodbye and Hello’, which I was listening to a lot before recording.

“There was another album called ‘Move With Me’, which was about having sex with loads of big black women.”

He laughed to the NME: “I was like – ‘Hey I love this album’ – Maybe  it’s rubbed off on my record too.!”

In other news, Mr Penate has just released the album artwork to ‘Matinee’, which you can see above.
