“Very little about Clementine is predictable, all of it is worth watching” – The Observer
“Sombre piano balladry that goes straight for the gut” - DIY
“Nina Simone’s brother steps into an elegant French café, sits down at the piano and tears open a vein” – Rolling Stone
“An extraordinary new musical talent. Incredible” - The Evening Standard
He's been popular in Paris for a while, but is only very recently garnering similar attention in his home nation. The press release explains his Hollywood-worthy tale:
"Benjamin Clementine has packed a lot into his 25 years: heartbreak, homelessness, reinvention, before reaching cult status in Paris and returning home in unlikely circumstances. Raised in Edmonton, his household was a strictly religious one, where children were barred from the living room unless it was a weekend dinner ("my parents, even though they were quite devilish, acted like Christians, and we weren't allowed to play anything other than gospel music”)."
The North London singer-songwriter, inspired by those formative restrictions, classical radio and the Anthony and The Johnsons, has also announced a headline date at the Barbican on 1 April to support the release of his debut.
At Least For Now is due for release via Virgin EMI on 23 March.

A great voice singing great songs recorded by a great producer. That is 'Soul', the sixth studio album from multiplatinum selling, Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed Seal. Each song is a stone-cold soul classic, from Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come', Ben E. King's 'Stand By Me', and Ann Pebbles' 'I Can't Stand The Rain' to Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes' 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' and Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long'. Produced by David Foster, 'Soul' is the perfect coming together of man, material and moment.

UK soulstress Joss Stone is set to release new single 'Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now' through Relentless on July 16th. The second single to be released from Joss' third album 'Introducing.. Joss Stone', 'Tell Me.' is a sweet, dreamy hip-hop track - its laid back beats providing the perfect soundtrack for the forthcoming summer months. The track also features a verse from Grammy winning rapper Common. Produced by the album's chief collaborator Raphael Saadiq (D'Angelo, Kelis, Lucy Pearl) 'Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now' sees the continued evolution of an artist that took the world by storm when she burst onto the scene in 2003 with Soul Sessions, followed up by the equally successful Mind Body and Soul the following year.

21 is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Adele. Released on 21 January 2011 in the UK and most of Europe, and on 22 February 2011 in North America, the album was named after the age of the singer at the time of its production. While it relies heavily on the folk and Motown influences that framed her debut 19, the album also explores various genres and styles from country and blues to alternative pop, indie-rock, and R&B. 21 is a break-up album, with songs exploring aspects of the singer's most recently ended relationship.
The majority of the album's production was handled by Grammy Award-winning American producer Rick Rubin, with additional producers including Jim Abbiss, Paul Epworth, Fraser T. Smith, Ryan Tedder and Dan Wilson. Released to positive reviews, critics complimented Adele's vocal performance and introspective songwriting. Preceded by lead single "Rolling in the Deep", 21 debuted at number one on the UK Album Chart with first-week sales of 208,000 copies. It also debuted at number one in over ten countries, including Canada, Germany and Ireland. In the U.S., the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 352,000 copies in its first week.
Following a well-received performance of the album's second single "Someone Like You" at the 2011 BRIT Awards, the album maintained its number one position in the UK for eleven consecutive weeks, before being dethroned by the Foo Fighters' Wasting Light on the week of 17 April 2011. However, 21 returned to the top spot the following week, and as of July 2011, has spent a total of seventeen aggregate weeks at number one. The album's eleven-week consecutive run at the top broke the record for the longest running consecutive number-one studio album for a solo artist. It also became the biggest-selling digital album of all-time in the UK. 21 has been certified 10-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, denoting domestic shipments in excess of three million units. A third single, "Set Fire to the Rain", attained success across several European territories and has peaked at number eighty-eight on Billboard thus far. In the U.S., the album spent ten non-consecutive weeks at number one, and has sold over 2.6 million copies. Total worldwide sales have surpassed eight million copies, making 21 the best-selling album of the year so far.
