SINGER-SONGWRITER, ONE OF THE BEST, I THINK, ON PLANET EARTH,

AND WE ARE SO HAPPY HE'S HERE WITH US ON THE SHOW.

THE ONE, THE INGRED-- INCREDIBLE JACK PENATE IS HERE.

LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME DEVIL.

HOW ARE YOU, JACK.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU WELL?

>> I'M VERY PECULIARLY OKAY.

>> James: YES.

>> IT FEELS WEIRD TO SAY YOU ARE OKAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

>> James: I DO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

>> I DID YEARS OF READING FOR THIS AND AT LEAST I HAVE A

REASON TO MAYBE IMPART SOME REALLY SHABBY PILL OS FEES TO

PEOPLE AROUND ME.

SO IT SAY GREAT TIME FOR ME TO BE HONEST.

>> James: WHAT PIECE OF SHABBEE FILL OS FEE WOULD YOU

LIKE TO GIVE TO US NOW.

I ALWAYS WALK AWAY WITH A DROP LET OF WISDOM WITH A PENATE

CHAT, WHAT PHILOSOPHY WOULD YOU GIVE US NOW?

>> -- .

>> James: THIS IS WHY WE JUST LOVE HIM.

THIS IS WHY-- THIS IS WHY YOUR MUSIC IS SO INCRED WILL.

BUT THERE IS WHY YOUR BAND ALWAYS GET ANNOYED BECAUSE YOU

TOOK A TEN YEAR BREAK BETWEEN ALBUMS TO REALLY STUDY THIS

STUFF WITHIN YOURSELF.

YOUR LAST ALBUM WAS 2009.

THEN YOU CALM HERE TO THE STUDIO, WE PERFORMED HERE.

I YOU HAD THIS NEW RECORD.

YOU WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT IT, IT'S BRILLIANT AND THEN LOCKDOWN

HAPPENEDMENT EVEN YOU, WITH YOUR BUDUS CALL, WAS IT FRUSTRATING

FOR YOU?

BECAUSE I FEET LUKE YOU WERE ABOUT TO HEAD ON A REAL RUN.

>> I MEAN THERE WAS A LITTLE ANNOYING BUT COMING TO L.A.,

DOING YOUR SHOW, PLAYING SHOWS, BACK IN NEW YORK AND LANDING

WITH THIS PLAN, THIS BEAUTIFUL PLAN OF WHERE LIFE CAN GO AND

EVERYONE WAS SAYING ARE YOU GOING TO POP INSIDE NOW FOR FOUR

MONTHS.

AND THERE WAS AT LEAST A MONTH OR TWO OF LIKE LET'S MOURN THIS.

AND THEN AFTER THAT AS I SAID I GOT BACK INTO THE OLD VIBE OF, I

DID TEN YEARS BACK IF BASEMENTS IN SOUTHEAST LONDON, I CAN DO IT

IN MY FLAT NOW.

IT WAS AN EASY TRANSITION, I WOULD SAY, YEAH.

>> James: THE SONG YOU ARE PERFORMING TONIGHT, NO ONE LIES

IS AS YOU KNOW, MY PERSONAL FAVORITE SONG ON THE, PT IS THE

FIRST SONG YOU RECORDED OF THESE NEW SONGS EIGHT YEARS AGO.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO RELEASE IT NOW?

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL IT WASN'T ON ANY STREAMING SITE SO YOU

COULDN'T ACTUALLY HEAR IT YOU COULD ONLY HERE IT BY GOING

THROUGH-- IT DESERVES ITS TIME BUT I LIKE THE IDEA THAT BEING A

BRIDGE IN THOSE TEN YEARS.

AND THAT SONG REALLY KIND OF SHOW, IT WAS THE LIFELINE.

IT BROKE UP THE TEN YEARS AND MADE ME REALIZE THAT I WOULD

ALWAYS GO BACK.

THERE WERE PERIODS I WOULDN'T SURE BUT THAT SONG KIND OF TIED

IT ALL TOGETHER.

THAT IS WHY I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE PRESENTED NOW.

IT JUST FELT RIGHT.

IT FELT PETTER NENLT TO THE WAY I WAS THINK BEING THE WORLD.

THE PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

YOUR VOICE HAS NEVER SOUNDED BETTER.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH US.
