Paulina says: I might as well jump on the bandwagon -and proclaim Benjamin Clementine as the next-big-thing in music.....dot, dot, dot....the next big thang in the world --full stop!!!
This Ghanaian-born brother who plays the piano and sings like the second coming of Nina Simone, with all the drama of a male Marlene Dietrich -first came to my attention via the Evening Standard's 'The 14 for 2014' faces to watch piece.... last week and since checking out his 'Cornerstone' tune -his incredible stick-in-the-throat-knife-in-the-heart song, his voice, verve and story ---have been on my mind... Plus we both have soooooo much in common that ------------ he has truly touch me on some spiritual level, but I'll leave that there.
I love people getting their dues, and I love that God/Heaven has conspired to Bless Benjamin Clementine -and wish and pray every success for this incredible talent.
Its amazing really..... but I bet there are many -who once didn't acknowledge this guy's talent, many to whom Benjamin Clementine was once invisible --who will be falling over themselves to be in his light... You go Benjamin Clementine, you deserve this success and more.
