Opening # 12

BEN L'ONCLE SOUL It's the story of a guy from Tours crazy about music who in 2010 delighted all of France with vintage soul. A voice, a vibe, an intoxicating freshness.

On the airwaves, on screen, on stage everywhere, Ben the soulman preaches the good word and carves his path along a fruitful decade: a live show at the Paris Zenith, an album with Californians Monophonics, a personal reading of Sinatra, until this "Addicted To You" which in 2020 reveals a new Ben, who became a father and determined to take control of all aspects of his artistic production.

Thus is born Enchanted, his label, his home, which in welcoming a small tight-knit team will change the game.

In building "Sad Generation" with a duo of gold producer-multi-instrumentalists, Ben carves a new bold, thrilling chapter with solid consistency, that of a very young forty-something ready to step through the doors that his artistic maturity opens before him.
