Description

Benny Sings, the prolific singer-songwriter from Amsterdam behind timeless hits like Pyjamas, Loving Is Easy, and Big Brown Eyes, invites you on a musical journey through time with the 20th anniversary edition of his debut album, "Champagne People." This album, written and produced by Benny himself in 2002-2003, marks the genesis of his illustrious career, earning him fans worldwide, including revered names like Gilles Peterson and Questlove. "Champagne People" is a genre-defying classic, seamlessly weaving elements of hip-hop, soul, jazz, and Benny's signature blue-eyed soul. This deluxe edition not only pays homage to the past but also adds a touch of the present with two previously unreleased bonus tracks on vinyl and three additional remixes on the digital album. To make this reissue even more special, the album cover has been beautifully redesigned by renowned artist Bráulio Amado (Ben Howard, Rex Orange County,...). The story behind the album is as enchanting as its music. Benny Sings' journey began with an interrail trip to Morocco, at a time when he felt lost in life. He carried a cassette filled with demos, including the blueprints for the classics "Twist You Around" and "Champagne People." The demos captivated other travelers during a camping stop in Spain, sparking his musical career. Returning with a beard symbolizing newfound strength, Benny embarked on a transformative journey, leading to the creation of his iconic debut album, "Champagne People." Today, we celebrate 20 years of his musical legacy.
