Benny Sings: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

January 15, 2016 by BOBBY CARTER For more than 10 years, fans have been drawn to Dutch singersongwriter Benny Sings ability to layer R B, jazz and pop over hiphop foundations. While it was only a matter of time before he d play behind the Tiny Desk, we never expected the performance to be his very first in the U. S. This is also where he performed with background vocalist Jennah Bell for the first time. As a bonus, his beat machine was miraculously repaired following a malfunction minutes prior to showtime. All that should have revved up a fair amount of paranoia, but Benny Sings quickly shed any evidence of nervousness and jumped into action like a veteran, performing a song from his latest album ( Beach House, from Studio) and an old favorite. Studio is available now: iTunes: Amazon: Set List: Yours Beach House Credits: Producers: Bobby Carter, Morgan Walker; Audio
