At a time when music is needed more than ever, to soothe and bring solace, Benny delivers. On the album’s title track, he sings: “Music, help me through this, whenever I’m down on the floor.” He explains: “It’s so easy to get overstimulated in the world today. We need light and air, we need something that energizes us. “I’ll always be amazed by the magic of music – how something can spring into being that simply transcends everything.”

Benny Sings’ music could well be described as intimate lo-fi Disney hip hop songs. The terms AOR and Yacht Rock are often used to define his sunny 70’s and 80’s melodies. But it’s not all retro: Benny’s happy-sad songwriting, late ‘90s R&B beats and buttery production shape a sound bringing to mind the soundtrack to a just released indie comedy.
