Benet - Game Over! - CASSETTES

Can I go again?, the debut full-length album by Richmond, VA-based singer-songwriter Benét (Benét Nutall) is a diverse collection of contemplative, tightly-crafted indie-pop, rock, and soul tracks as emotionally resonant as they are immediate and infectious. These tracks are equally worthy of processing heart break, gaming with your friends, or finding strength in solitude-growth in time requires an embrace of seriousness as well as unbridled, shameless joy. Benét's debut EP, Game Over (2021), was an honest effort at self-reflection through electronic dance and disco atmospheres-the titular question of their debut album serves as a reset on the arcade game with more knowledge, maturity, and assurance as Benét moves into more organic instrumental accompaniment and refined songwriting. The songs on Can I go again? represent the various relationship breaks-romantic, platonic, and professional-experiences and changes that colored Benét's early 20s and the time required for them to navigate and rehabilitate from those times. The ebullient and sharp guitar riffs and driving bassline of InchInsensitiveInch lift Benét's vocals as they sing about feelings of nervousness, desire, and ultimately overcoming both with assuredness. Benét gets to flaunt satisfying personal growth in InchOverpoweringInch over a smooth bassline and strutting beat. InchNo AlarmInch offers another look at Benét's lyrical vulnerability, moving back and forth between self-consciousness in the verses and a shimmering string emphasized certainty in the chorus.The album was written by Benét in an attempt to deal with the detachment of several connections and the collaborative effort of these tracks brings a healing nature to Can I go again?. Benét's music has always been influenced by the environments around them and the people who they choose to create with. The album is a result of roughly three years of w

It contains Chet Baker with Ennio Morricone's Orchestra, with 'Il Mio Domani' (My Tomorrow) and 'So Che Ti Perdero' (I Know That I'll Loose You), two recordings of works composed and sung for the first time in Italian by one of the most important international trumpeters. It also features Helen Merrill with 'Estate' (Summer) and 'Nessuno Al Mondo' (Noboby In The World), two recordings sung for the first time in Italian. She agreed to record two 'light' songs because the Orchestra that performed them was conducted by Armando Trovajoli, a qualified exponent of Italian jazz and an extreme modernist. The album also includes Paul Anka with Ray Ellis Orchestra, Perez Prado and His Orchestra, Neil Sedaka, and Stan Applebaum Orchestra

Benét's new album 'Make 'Em Laugh' is dynamic, vibrant, and genre fluid. Featuring friends like Faye Webster, Margaux, and AnnonXL, Benét's warm vocals shine on contemplative indie-rock tracks like InchPieces Of MeInch and InchDemon.Inch On InchToo Scared to Say,Inch and he employs autotune to convey a sense of swirling confusion, a sentiment that intensifies on experimental electronic track InchSlimmer.Inch This is music that wonders about the big life questions that connect us all and that finds solace in community. If the album is a game of Clue, it's one that captures all the insights and stories of the myriad players in the room as much as it focuses on the outcome of the game itself.
