| Benedict Benjamin - I Wish Your Lies Were Better |
Release Date: Out Now
Finally. Finally, someone has
produced a modern slow dance I can get on board with. London boy Benedict
Benjamin has created, in 'I Wish Your Lies Were Better', a song that is borne
from the likes of John Grant and the Treetop Flyers but has a Motown soul and
all the flourish of a big time pop star. The arrangements are beautiful in
their simplicity and Benjamin's voice is a master class in understated emotion
that many would do well to take notes from. In fact, the only thing that makes
this a bad choice for that end of disco smooch-fest is the heartbreaking
lyrical content that would make this an impossible song to dance to with any
kind of integrity. Then again, how often does integrity come in to your dance
moves at the end of a night? Sumptuous stuff, I await the debut album with high
anticipation.
