With his dramatic voice, his elliptical but emotive songs, his classically-derived piano playing, and his striking presence on stage, Benjamin Clementine occupies a singular place in the music world – somewhere between art music and pop. We met him last year when he joined us in the Soundcheck studio. Two weeks later, he won Britain’s prestigious Mercury Prize. Coincidence? Maybe. But after years of hard work and street hustle in London and Paris, the high-flying artist has finally landed (for the moment) in New York, and we’re happy to have him back at our piano to play more songs from that Prize-winning debut album, called At Least For Now. Click the player above to hear the set and conversation.
