BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

The critically acclaimed Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine will launch his fourth and last album ‘Sir Introvert and the Featherweights’ on February 14th 2025 via Preserve Artists. He is launching a short prestigious American tour to coincide with the new release then heads to UK & Europe for a concise new album tour from March to April 2025. Amongst music he professes to be an artist whose music is only one element of his creative journey, most notable with his acting roles in Denis Villeneuve’s multiple Oscar-winning film ‘Dune’ and ‘Blitz’ with Oscar winning film Director Sir Steve Mcqueen. This album marks the end of a musical journey as Clementine is now venturing into the realms of Film Entertainment. ‘Sir Introvert And The Featherweights’ continues Benjamin’s adventures as a singular artist who delivers style, poise and poetry in equal measure for the troubling times past, present and future. His experimental and at times avant-garde approach to pop and his enigmatic presence, velveteen baritone and literary streak defies simple categorisation. Here we also see the growth he's acquired as an artist and producer. He explores various themes of marriage, love, friendship, heartbreak, sobriety, family reconciliations and the importance of the willingness to change at the face of divine peril. The album was primarily written high in the mountains of Santa Monica and the small town of Ojai in California where Benjamin amassed a collection of vintage analogue equipment to advance music engineering and production. He compares his quest for perfection to being stuck between rattlesnakes and coyotes and family: an impossible balancing act between impeccable precision and the need for the imperfections that only a human touch can provide. Sir Introvert and The Featherweights gives Ode to life's freedom when seriously acquired through the lenses of discipline and misfortunes. Sessions were split between Los Angeles and London before the songs were finished in Florence and Rome, Italy. -
