MR BENN feat. EVA LAZARUS, BLACKOUT JA & CHAMPIAN: Stars (2014)

Stars Mr Benn[RATING: 5] Mr Benn cannily returns with the sunshine and three sunshine-drenched covers of Cornell Campbell’s Stars which will appear as a special 7″ double pack from the Nice Up! Records crew. Eva Lazarus delivers a super sweet female vocal take on the original lyrics, Blackout JA appropriates Mr Benn’s version of the riddim in order to call out corruption (in politics, education, the church, the media, the legal profession, Rastafarianism, Islam, Christianity, the rich as a whole – in fact pretty much everyone you can think of apart from dancehall vocalists) and Champian’s Everytime returns to the love theme. Hard to pick a favourite really. Oh alright then – I’ll have the Eva Lazarus one please…
(Out 19 April on Nice Up! Records)
