Jack Penate has revealed that he is taking the next couple of months off from a busy touring schedule to start work on his second album.
The London based singer-songwriter will head into the studio in January to start recording and is planning to use his time off in December to get inspired.
He told 6 Music that he looking forward to a change in direction, adding: "I'm excited to kind of change perception and stuff, that's something that's really hard to do, it's something I really wanna work at.
“The best people are the ones who can change perception non stop... people kept on thinking they knew who they were and they didn't.
"I feel like I have got a bit of unearthing to do, pulling up some to roots and starting again, let's see though, let's see if I have go the talent."
Penate already has several songs written for the follow up to ‘Matinee’ and his hoping the second album will sound significantly different.
He said: "I just don't wanna bore people, I don't want people to compare any song to any song on the first record, that's my only fear I would happily make a record that completely flopped but I felt at least showed completely different sides to me than one that was a not-as-good-first-record."
