About ten years ago, Ben L'Oncle Soul was flushed onto the scene out of nowhere. With cover versions of hits like "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes or "Otherside" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, new and freshly presented in the soul fashion, the musician was responsible for the earworms of the year. However, there is much more to the French singer than a clever knack for cover versions. Ben is a full-blooded musician who reinvents himself with each album.
2016 saw the release of "Under My Skin", on which he presented new versions of Frank Sinatra songs. Last year, he released the longplayer "Addicted To You", which finally tore down the boundaries between hip hop and jazz, between pop and R'n'B. The influences of his youth are clearly recognisable - Method Man, Lauryn Hill, the Wu-Tang Clan, but also Robert Glasper and other jazz virtuosos have left their mark.
For his last album, he made a call on social media, announcing that for his latest project, all fans could send him their songs and try their luck. Over 300 songs were submitted and the agony of choice began: "We listened to everything blindly, and very quickly came up with a selection. The album is the fruit of the ones that captivated us instantly, regardless of their genre."
It is due to his talent that the album does not seem like a patchwork quilt, but comes from a single mould and fits seamlessly into his discography.
