City Pop

Description

Benny Sings' sixth album: a perfectly contemporary pop funk! The sunny 70s productions and 80s melodies of the Dutch producer-songwriter, Benny Sings, could be described as intimate, lo-fi songs with a Disney-hip-hop vibe. However, his compositions cannot be solely categorized as "retro": as happy as they are sad, his songs feature R&B beats, and his wonderfully crafted productions give a unique shape to the sound, transporting us directly to the soundtrack of an indie comedy. His debut album, released in 2003, Champagne People, captured the attention of the soul and urban hip hop audience worldwide. Since then, he has been seen in a Tiny Desk concert and on tour around the world with Mayer Hawthorne. City Pop, his sixth album, is released on the Stones Throw label, joining artists like Jerry Paper and Mild High Club. Alongside his solo career, Benny Sings co-wrote and sang alongside Rex Orange County on the track Loving is Easy, and has collaborated with Anderson .Paak, GoldLink, and Mndsgn, among others.
