': ,: :, : Benny Sings debuted in 2003 and has since performed for NPRÆs : :' Tiny Desk; toured the world with Mayer Hawthorne, and ': ,: collaborated with the likes of Anderson .Paak, GoldLink, and :, : Mndsgn. In 2017 he co-wrote and featured on Rex Orange CountyÆs : :' megahit ôLoving Is Easyö, a collaboration that arose from ': ,: mutual admiration: "Benny has always been a massive inspiration :, : for me and my music,ö says the BBC Sound of 2018 breakout star, : :' ôIn my opinion heÆs one of the most underrated producers and ': ,: artists going.ö :, : : :' Like the 2015 album Studio, City Pop celebrates collaboration, ': ,: with Hawthorne, Cornelius, Sukimaswitch (the ôJapanese Steely :, : Danö), Mocky and Faberyayo among the featured artists. True to : :' the albumÆs name, cities from around the world play a starring ': ,: role. Alongside collaborations with these Japanese musicians, :, : Benny worked with Tokyo artist Ryu Okubo for the album art : :' illustration. He conceived most of the albumÆs songs in ': ,: Amsterdam at the studio seen in the DIY video for his :, : æPassionfruitÆ cover, and co-producer Renaud Letang ù who has : :' worked with Feist, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lianne La Havas ù ': ,: helped bring his ideas to life in ParisÆ renowned Studio Ferber. :, : : :' ': ,: BennyÆs music has always been informed by his real-life :, : experiences and relationships. Following StudioÆs release his : :' perspective on life totally changed. His relationship expanded ': ,: beyond the ôeverything-is-amazing romantic explosionö to include :, : marriage and babies ù no less exciting, and still filled with : :' ups and downs, but anchored in a sense of a shared future. ': ,: :, : City Pop is his most personal record yet, both in terms of his : :' musical taste, with a strong influence of jazz and soul, and ': ,: the moods he expresses. Lyrically, he reaches deep into both his :, : experiences and his imagination. He celebrates na∩vetΘ and : :' probes gloominess, opens up his heart and dissects his inner ': ,: struggles. He even addresses his daughter, then just one year :, : old, on the moving ôMy Worldö. : :' ': ,: Throughout, Benny grapples with real-life love in all its forms: :, : good and bad; romantic and realistic; epic and small-scale; : :' familiar and brand new. The result is a collection of love ': ,: songs as intimate as they are universal. He says, ôIt came :, : together much more naturally than previous records. I finally : :' feel free and confident in my writing, and this album feels ': ,: like the start of something new.ö :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
