A Little Bit of Jack

Jack Allsopp was born to dance. In England, he grew up listening to various forms of dance music, and eventually getting in DJing at the age of 15. In 2002, he officially became Just Jack, with his first album The Outer Marker. It did well by getting good reviews, but it didn't get him too far off the ground.

Until 2007, when he came out with his 2nd album Overtones. Released in September last year, Just Jack has become a phenomenon in the UK. His most popular track "Starz in Their Eyes" was #2 on the UK charts last year, and the song has definitely put Jack on the map. The songs also featured in the Dolce Gabbana Summer 2008 fashion show. Jack also collaborates with Kylie Minogue on Overtones with a song called "I Talk Too Much".

Fun tidbit from Wikipedia:

I believe when I first heard Just Jack, it was right before the album was officially released. Naturally, "Starz in Their Eyes" was the first song of his that I heard. Liking it a lot, I went and downloaded "Writer's Block" and "Glory Days" which coincidentally are next on the popularity list.

And, just last weekend I purchased the CD. I figured, "Wow, I really liked listening to him, and I am sure I'll like all of the songs, so why not?" I was right! It's filled with beats, pop, rap, electro; a little bit of everything. So, unless you're a hairband rocker (...Um, no offense?) you'll probably find something to dance to on this album. Don't be scared...it's Just Jack.
