Benjamin Clementine, the singer/pianist sensation with a well-noted upbringing and astounding voice, has recorded a 12-minute session with La Blogotheque at the Sainte Geneviève Library in Paris.
He performs the rapturous, tense ballad "Condolence" and the considerably more experimental "St-Clementine-on-Tea-and-Croissants" in the empty hallowed halls. Both are gripping testaments to his phenomenal, natural talent.
Clementine's debut record At Least For Now, is released via Virgin EMI on 23 March. He will also play London's Barbican on 1 April; tickets are here.
