A 4 track roots reggae single (13m 26s) — released June 9th 2014 on Nice Up!
Coming live and direct from Bristol via Kingston, Jamaica is this very special double pack 7" version excursion from NICE UP! records. Having first started life as a audio-visual project with long standing collaborator and artist David Cox (the man also responsible fantastic artwork for his debust album "Shake A Leg"), Mr Benn has lovingly recreated one of his favourite songs - the classic "Stars" by reggae legend Cornell Campbell.
To bring the tune into 2014 he has linked up with a handful of regular collaborators to voice this timeless track, kicking off with Eva Lazarus who gives us a sweet soulful rendition of the original. Next up, Blackout JA delivers a brutally honest and scathing account of corruption, whilst veretan MC Champian takes it back to the lovers roots with his "Everytime", plus the instrumental version.
