Today Benny Sings makes his return with Beat Tape III, the latest instalment of his beat tape series on Stones Throw Records.

Benny’s beat tapes are a window into the prolific songwriter’s creative overflow, collections of songs that don’t fit neatly into traditional studio albums but have their own freewheeling spirit. As Benny describes it: “A lot of music gets made that doesn’t get released, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth hearing. It gives me the space to share songs that didn’t make the album, but still have their own kind of magic. There’s a certain freeness to them. No big ambition. No pressure. Just sound, feeling, and the way I work.”
Beat Tape III is an assembly of chance sessions and rare collaborations, each track telling a story of its own: a jam with Jacob Jeffries of Vulfpeck in Amsterdam, a demo with Grammy-nominated Leven Kali, or a cut recorded with Kelsey González of The Free Nationals. More than a collection of outtakes, the project is a portrait of the process, the people, and the moments that shape Benny’s music.
