Benjamin Clementine (★★★✩✩), contradictory sensations

Benjamin Clementine is one of the most attractive figures on the current scene. Situated in a meravellós terreny art-pop with various stylistic areas shining, it is not the ones that matter: their third album will be released in 2022, and from the aleshores they have recorded just a few singles. Something that, taking into account his charisma and his cançoner, was not a problem nor did it detract from the interest of his proposal. This will happen at the Porta Ferrada festival. Piano and white prosceni, va comparèixer tot sol, descalç, and lluint un trench coat black Imponent stamp to start a concert that, per cert, could have scored higher.

It will be built around Cornerstone, a dense and beautiful construction in which the differential fets of this artist with an atzarous life will begin to emerge – it is because in his youth he will be clochard to Paris – which is portrayed in the first verse of the song as “sun in a stone box”.

The six songs are of great emotional quality, a mena of wound open to the vulnerable world: crues, but now healers, made with great drama and a highly transmitted vocal register.

The sense of humor and the participation of the public are, per decomptat, always healthy. But at various times Clementine will deploy entertaining tricks that, ultimately, will not work in her favor. But more riallades that sit in the stalls, have a graceful relative episode with the long, eternal minutes, in which the staff will sing “beer” and “tapas”, ending with an italic and silly “vaffanculo!!”. It’s this summer and we’re all in good spirits, but sense these details are what haurien anat millor…
