Friday 19 March 2010

With reviews like this we can’t wait to get Plan B to RockNess 2010!

‘Forest Gate's most furious has learned to sing. Like really sing...like

Smokey Robinson’ NME

“The rapper enters 2010 with a soul-funk blast.” Sunday Times Culture

“Now he’s giving the 1960s a kick up the backside via the medium of grime. Hearing it prompts a string of F-words… frantic, fantastic and, erm, phwoar!” Metro

“Its sheer audacity will have you grinning from ear to ear.” The Guardian

“Up-tempo effort from one of Britain’s under-rated verbal acrobats his rare talent for uncomfortably juxtaposing sunshiny verses and instrumentals with jolts of gritty rap.” – **** The Sun

After his first solo top 10 hit ‘Stay Too Long’ at the head of the year, Plan B’s follow up single ‘She Said’ is released on March 22 and precedes his sophomore album ‘The Defamation of Strickland Banks’ (April 12th).

 

His incredible second album takes in the sound of Motown, Stax and Northern soul, filtered through the grit of contemporary East London. "She Said' has the soulful shuffle of classic late night Northern soul with Ben's crooning falsetto offset by his interjection his streetwise lyrics. Its the sound of the Blackpool Mecca reinvented for Rinse FM and works brilliantly.

The switchblade sharp soul sound of the album is perfectly recreated on stage complete with a brilliant sharp-suited band and backing singers. After a dazzling Sold-Out performance at the West End’s Café De Paris last month, Ben will be bringing his sound to RockNess 2010!
