| | Benny Sings | |
| | Feel-good music: melodious, groovy and subtle | |
| | | |
| | Benny: ôSix months ago I got my own apartment for the first time | |
| | in my life. I invested in house slippers, some serious recording | |
| | equipment and I hardly left my place since. Except for going to | |
| | work with Wouter Hamel.ö (Benny produced Hamel, the recently | |
| | released debut CD by Wouter Hamel) But the new album Benny | |
| | SingsàAt home, is a true home-made product, written, played and | |
| | produced by Benny. | |
| | | |
| | Benny calls this album the fourth of a series of studies: ôIÆm in | |
| | the middle of my Benny Sings - College and havenÆt even started | |
| | my graduation project, let alone my master piece. Regarding the | |
| | composition and the recording I took quite an experimental | |
| | approach for this album. I recorded for example some backing | |
| | vocals and little screams standing in the kitchen or bathroom and | |
| | I came up with some fine modulations.ö Benny Singsà At home is an | |
| | attractive and intruiging variation to the whole range of | |
| | atmospheres that Benny performed in his three previous æstudiesÆ. | |
| | The ten songs go down as smoothly as the earlier Benny sings | |
| | songs and recall the clarity of Champagne People as well as the | |
| | light-heartedness of I Love You and the provocation of Euh. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | A quick scan of the work of Benny Sings, the | |
| | instrumentalist/componist: | |
| | | |
| | Champagne People (2003): ôThe first album was the conception of | |
| | my style. I was making hiphop beats and started singing to them. | |
| | We stripped the music but kept some of its detail.ö | |
| | | |
| | Champagne People got raving reviews (ôA revelation!ö, ôUniquely | |
| | authenticö) and subsequently Benny Sings featured at the big | |
| | Dutch summer festivals such as Lowlands and De Uitmarkt. In | |
| | January 2004 the debut album won the Dutch Essent Award for | |
| | young music talent, and outside the Netherlands it was released | |
| | on vinyl by Kindred Spirits/Rush hour. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | The second album was I Love You: Benny Sings Live at the Bimhuis | |
| | (2005). Benny: ôI wanted to create pure pop. So I studied Burt | |
| | Bacharach among others. I wanted to create round and catchy | |
| | songs. Music without rebellion.ö | |
| | | |
| | I Love You: Live at the Bimhuis was released worldwide via the | |
| | German label Sonar Kollektiv. Gigs in Germany followed at Popkomm | |
| | and as the support act to the successful hiphop band Fettes Brot. | |
| | In the meantime the French and British critics welcomed the album | |
| | as well. The reputable BBC DJ Gilles Peterson invited Benny | |
| | sings for a live gig in his radio show. In France the song Little | |
| | Donna became a cult hit at Radio Nova. Subsequently Benny sings | |
| | played in the Radio Nova live show broadcast from a packed club | |
| | La ScΦne in Paris. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | The album Euh (2006) was a field trip to the Rednose Distrikt | |
| | nights with DJs Aardvarck and Steven de Peven. Benny: ôThe | |
| | Rednose Distrikt nights were long nights of hardcore music study. | |
| | Drink beer for breakfast, put clean socks on and then go on | |
| | making more beats.öGilles Peterson selected the track Miss Moral | |
| | for the compilation album of his new label Brownwood Recordings. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | Benny: ôBenny Sings..At home turned into an album with an edge. | |
| | ItÆs still happy music but a kind of moody happy.ö Benny Sings at | |
| | Home contains BennyÆs unique lazy dance feel, the optimistic | |
| | harmonies and the small sound effects like pop ups. In short: | |
| | typical Benny stuff but itÆs Benny with more life experience. | |
| | Benny: ôBy the time I finished the album it was already clear to | |
| | me what the object of study will be for the next album and for | |
| | the one after too.ö | |
| | | |
| | But first he will be producing GiovancaÆs debut album. This | |
| | talented female singer (also BennyÆs backing vocal) is one of the | |
| | stars in the Mighty 8 project of the Dutch Pop Institute. In the | |
| | meantime BennyÆs hair doesnÆt stop growing either. | |
