You may have never heard of BENNY SINGS (AKA Tim Berkestijn) before, but he is already close to star status in his native Holland.His 4th album 'Benny...At Home' has refined his very unique style, one that transcends ideas of 'fashionable' or 'nostalgic'. His main inspiration is the jazzy, funky pop of the '70s & '80s from the likes of Steely Dan, MICHAEL FRANKS, RANDY NEWMAN, BURT BACHARACH or even HALL & OATES! While the album's contemporary production drags it into 2007, Sings is always focused on songwriting and that is what will make people fall in love with this record (as many here at Inertia have!). This album will appeal to an older jazz-centric market as much as a younger pop / soul crowd. JAMIROQUAI without the Ferraris? A jazzier JOHN LEGEND?
