Capitol Records has signed Benjamin Clementine and will introduce the London-born, Paris-based artist with I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry. Set for release on April 28, the four-song EP will be available exclusively in the U.S. Clementine – who received “Best New Act” honors at Les Victoires de la Musique, the French equivalent of the GRAMMY® Awards – will play his first Stateside shows this spring, performing at Joe’s Pub in New York City on April 28 and at BRIC House in Brooklyn on April 29. Tickets are on sale now. See below for details.
Born in London, Clementine began teaching himself the keyboard at age 11, influenced first by Erik Satie and later by such artists as Antony and the Johnsons and Leonard Cohen. He moved to Paris at age 20, where he busked on the Metro to support himself, building a cult following in the process. After making his U.K. television debut on “Later…with Jools Holland,” Clementine became the most-shared artist on Spotify. At Least for Now, his debut album, topped the iTunes chart in France and charted in the Top 10 in 11 other territories in early 2015. He has sold out headline shows across Europe, including London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, and opened for such artists as Cat Power, tUnE-yArDs and Woodkid. He has also performed at the Burberry Prorsum Menswear show and film festivals in Cannes and Normandy.
