I have truly been enjoying Holy Hive and Aaron Frazer “Introducing...” this year. It’s got a smooth R&B/soul/pop sound. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I’m jumping on the Benny Sings bandwagon too.
Benny Sings is Dutch musician Tim van Berkestijn. He has collaborated with numerous musicians, but on this particular release he and Mac DeMarco really complement each other. In fact, look at Benny Sings. He kind of looks like a bearded, red-haired DeMarco.
Really, though this has a groove and sound that recall some great bands of the 70s like Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder or Gil Scott-Heron. This is being released by Los Angeles based label Stones Throw.
