NOW LISTENING: BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE
I have no words- I can’t believe I’m just now discovering Benjamin Clementine. I am so in love with this artist right now. There’s no doubt that he’s inspired by Nina Simone- his music is Nina, it’s Edith Piaf, its operatic, mixed with his own originality and poetry. Right now, for me- its everything.
Born in London, but then moved to Paris where he played in subway stations until his first official album 2+ years ago. This one you have to watch and listen for yourself.
