Jack Penate's new album is "coloured" with his emotions.

The British musician claims - who released his debut album 'Matinee' in 2007 - says his latest LP 'Everything Is New' highlights his new-found confidence.

He said: "I wrote and released 'Matinee' when I was quite young and was maybe nervous of completely showing my influences. This time I wanted to bring them out and colour the record with sounds and feelings of my own. I think it is more representative of me now."

At that point, I realised trying to please people and win them over doesn't fulfil anything; I decided I'd just write this album for myself

The 25-year-old singer claims it was with the encouragement of his producer Paul Epworth which helped him make such an honest album.

He told ThisIsNottingham.co.uk: "In a way he was like a counsellor or football manager; he gave me the confidence to run with ideas that, on my own, I was too nervous to.

"The negativity I received after the first record was a positive for my artistry in a way. At that point, I realised trying to please people and win them over doesn't fulfil anything; I decided I'd just write this album for myself."
