'Jenius' is a symptom of this unassuming style. 'If anybody ever calls me a genius', he explains, 'I always say, `What?! With a J?!' The spelling would obviously be wrong'. Fortunately, there's nothing bashful about these songs, something reflected in the LP's cover, the first to feature a photo of Heaton since the Housemartin's debut album. Indeed, Jenius betrays the truth of his talents, and its songs - of love and loneliness, pubs and booze, community and counsel, a nod to football, the state of the nation, and the overall wisdom of kindness - are distinguished by his notably tender voice, his enchanting melodies and a meticulous, effortless craft. 'If I can get a variety of people of all sorts of backgrounds to say, 'Oh, that could be about me or you', he says, 'then I've been successful'.
