Benjamin Clementine has something to say, a lot to say. His art feels very personal and vocal, his singing is pure, sometimes even a bit raw. He seems willing to show you something and his way is not mysterious, he wants to shout it to the world, without fear, without regrets, without restrain but always with pure intention and beauty.
Benjamin Clementine’s music doesn’t need much embellishment or many effects, his soul is present, it doesn’t take much more than that to make everything memorable, to be worth listening to. When a soul gets faithfully portrayed art has accomplished its purpose, it doesn’t matter if it gets to one or to a million people, it doesn’t matter if it captivates one heart or a thousand, it has accomplished its true meaning.
This world needs more artists like Benjamin Clementine, more people willing to express all they truly feel deep inside, all they are, everything that lights up their souls, only when we honor ourselves can we honor our life and every blessing we came to give and receive in this world.
Condolence, a song with a certain expressiveness that isn’t affected by its continuous motion, has two very different versions of which I recommend both, the studio version (chosen for this playlist) and a more acoustic version with only piano accompaniment, like the one in his magnificent NPR music desk concert. Both are special in their own way, with a very transcendental climax that gets to me every time, a huge release from all the tension, a wonderful way to let you finally ease into the infinite. I hope you enjoy them both and let them resonate in the night.

When you listen to music like this one you also remember what it is to be connected to nature, you remember part of the sound of nature in that organic sound, the wood just resonating to the sound of strings being touched, you remember the essential and feel ready to transport yourself again to the best parts of life.

This song has a special magic to it, it’s not just about the soothing voice or the comforting piano, it’s not just about the beautiful melodies or the precious harmony, not just about a mood or just a sound, it tends to get you somewhere you need to be.
