A ‘Part Two’ will follow next year and could prove to be his final album - he professes to be an artist whose music is only one element of his creative journey, most notable with his debut acting role as Herald of the Change in Denis Villeneuve’s multiple Oscar-winning film ‘Dune’. ‘And I Have Been’ continues Benjamin’s adventures as a singular artist who delivers style, poise and poetry in equal measure. His experimental and at times avant-garde approach to chamber pop and his enigmatic presence, velveteen baritone and literary streak defies simple categorization. Thematically, ‘And I Have Been’ is about the rich tapestry of life and its fiercely unpredictable journey, touching upon love, loss, marriage, children and depression. It’s also an expression of changing self-awareness. The supreme self-confidence of young adulthood soon gives way to uncertainty, and instead comes the acceptance that every day is there to learn from.
