Benjamin Clementine
Grâce à S.R. j'ai découvert Benjamin Clementine, poète, ténor lirico spinto, pianiste, guitariste, qui mélange allègrement Nina Simone, Satie et Glass.
Quasi clochard à Paris, ce British black a été - heureusement - remarqué et je dois bien être le seul sur cette planète à ne pas le connaître déjà.
Comme dirait l'autre, better late than never.
I saw a girl in my class who had a toy piano. I asked if I could play and she said no, so I waited till she went for lunch and I took it home. I played, I heard sounds, I just liked it, I didn't understand why. The next day, obviously, I brought it back, after a bit of trouble with my parents. I got into detention but that was one of the best unforgettable moments of my life. —Benjamin Clementine
