Benny Sings

Benny released his first album on Sonar Kollektiv, and his most recent on Stones Throw Records. He’s collaborated with such artists as Rex Orange County, Anderson.Paak, and Mayer Hawthorne, and his LP Young Hearts was produced in its entirety by Kenny Beats — the very same one who’s worked on tracks for Gucci Mane, Idles, and FKA twigs. The American producer reportedly reached out to the Dutch singer-songwriter and proposed they team up for a session in Los Angeles. Let that be the greatest possible review of Benny’s songs. The artist has a soft spot for jazz, soul, and hip-hop, along with an undeniable knack for writing catchy tracks. Inspired by lighthearted poetry and movies in the vein of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love, his songs are thrilling stories of outsiders and anti-heroes who just might feel like Superman when they put on a Benny Sings record.
