Benny Sings announces his new album Young Hearts, out March 24th via Stones Throw Records, with the title track and a video directed by Bear Damen & Floor Bijkersma.
Young Hearts is Benny’s eighth record, but for the first time in his career, the Dutch singer-songwriter has worked with a single producer in the studio for the whole record – beatmaker-to-the-stars Kenny Beats.
Their collaboration began simply with a DM from the producer, which led to a call between the two. Benny instantly felt at ease. “Kenny is so honest that he’s not scared to brag,” he says. Benny explained that he wanted to make a record that sounded bigger than anything he’d done before. “I can give you that extra slap,” Kenny responded without hesitation.
Kenny is the force of nature behind a diverse array of releases from Vince Staples and Freddie Gibbs to Remi Wolf and Denzel Curry, and recently earned a Grammy nod for his work with IDLES. It makes sense that the prolific and genre-agnostic producer would find a kindred spirit in Benny, who mines a range of styles from West Coast AOR to ‘70s R&B and hip-hop for his signature sound. They recorded the album in Los Angeles and London.
