Benjamin Clementine

Benjamin Clementine live at City Winery Chicago - Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 7:30 PM!

The critically acclaimed Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine will launch his fourth album ‘Sir Introvert and the Featherweights’ on December 6th via Preserve Artists. He is launching a short prestigious American tour to coincide with the new release. His experimental and at times avant-garde approach to chamber pop and his enigmatic presence, velveteen baritone and literary streak defies simple categorisation. 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 Oscar winning film Director Sir Steve Mcqueen.

‘Sir Introvert And The Featherweights’ continues Benjamin’s adventures as a singular artist who delivers style, poise and poetry in equal measure. It 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.

He compares his quest for perfection to being stuck between rattlesnakes and coyotes: an impossible balancing act between impeccable precision and the need for the imperfections that only a human touch can provide. Sessions were split between Los Angeles and London before the songs were finished in Rome Italy.
