Benny J Blake is appropriately ushering in a new chapter of music with his uplifting new single “Begin.” He has around 20 years’ experience in the music industry, but this is his first release under his current musical moniker. It all came about after Benny left his previous band and split with his long-term partner. Such big life events are bound to shake things up!
“’Begin’ is an exploration of healing,” Benny explained. “A cathartic starter pistol to “begin” the long road to recovery and acknowledging the small wins along the way. While slowly eliminating distractions and vices that have kept me stoned and frozen in existential dread and maladaptive coping mechanisms while accepting my human flaws and practicing foreign self-love and compassion.”
Benny took control of this project, playing most of the instruments and recording them in his home studio in Gadigal Country/Newtown. But you will hear guest vocals from Georgia Jones and Wade Keighran of Wolf and Cub on bass. He also produced this amazing track.
“Begin” comes from Benny J Blake’s forthcoming debut album, The Sharpest Tooth in the Jaw.
