Chocolate Eyes

Jack L’s ambitions appear to have shrunk a little in recent times – seemingly resigned to the fact that he’ll never be seen as Ireland’s spiritual heir to Scott Walker (or Tom Waits), he has settled for making records that appeal to folks who find the Divine Comedy a little too feisty. Not necessarily a bad thing: ‘Chocolate Eyes’ is a pretty-but-inconsequential AOR ballad, which contains the telling line “I gave up on dreams / and regrets”. Never fear, Jack – now that you’re aiming lower, you’re actually hitting closer to the mark.

So Far Gone

An all-too-average song from a man who is capable of so much better. At this point in his career, Jack L. needs a show-stopper of a tune to bring his undoubted gifts to a wider audience: ‘So Far Gone’ will hardly be the one to do so.

Metropolis Blue

Unencumbered by the fickleness of fashion, Jack Lukeman (or Jack L, as he is better known) has carved out his own niche in the melting pot that is music in the '90s. He has left the shade of Brel behind and has followed his own vision, which still has its roots in the romantic balladry of Scott Walker, Nick Cave and Frank Sinatra.
