Icon is the first single to be released from Benga’s forthcoming second album Chapter 2, due for release on August 27 on Columbia Records.
Featuring newcomer Bebe Black on vocals it brings together all that we love about Benga’s production with brilliant quirky pop sensibilities. As someone who has already produced three top 10 singles, Benga clearly has the knack to create huge leftfield hits.
The video for Icon as directed by Michael Holyk sees Benga and Bebe ascend to the skies and embark on a sky dive together. A first for them both, the adrenaline surge of such an experience is clearly visible.
The incredible full album is sure to see Benga propelled from the club to the charts with an album featuring great collaborations with exciting big names (to be revealed soon) and newcomers such as Sweden’s Marlene Strand and London’s Bebe Black.
