about

Like the music that she writes and sings, Robyn Bennett is an energetic burst of joy with great artistic sensitivity. The beautiful redhead spreads her infectious music, catchy melodies, and touching lyrics with her exceptional voice, both powerful and sensual.
Her new album Glow is comprised of twelve tracks that will immediately seduce you with their instinctive groove. In this musical journey flirting on the edge of jazz, swing and soul, Robyn succeeds in renewing the genre with finesse and modernity.

Glow : radiance, luminosity, happiness

Glow was conceived on a porch in Algiers Point, New Orleans and born nine months later on Rue du Faubourg Saint Denis in Paris. Soaking up the sounds, sights, smells and vibes of the Big Easy, Robyn Bennett and Ben van Hille start writing, recording and documenting their impressions during a month-long stay. They discover a joined desire to go back to their roots, to make music together that speaks from the soul and rings true in the listener’s ear. « Seeing and hearing people spilling their guts out every night with their voices and their horns, stripped down and vulnerable, believing in the power of music and plugging away day after day to connect with people, well that’s a pretty inspiring thing. » Robyn

Back in Paris, Robyn and Ben finish composing Glow, drawing on their experiences, writing what they know and what is close to their heart. They also want to mix things up and give some fresh blood to the band, bringing in a new rhythm section : Davy Honnet, a young French drummer brings modernity and drive; Julien Omé, coming from a rock/folk background, adds new depth and sounds; the Mauritian, Gino Chantoiseau and his double bass create a solid base; and the keyboards of Laurian Daire complete the rhythm section adding a whole new dimension to the band. The explosive horn section is comprised of Xavier Sibre on saxophones and Ben van Hille on trombone, who is also the arranger for the band.

With a strong desire to take the recording process « to the next level » as compared to the bands’ previous two albums, they decide to record at the great Question de Son studio in Paris with Frédéric Vectol (Babyshambles, Gregory Porter, Elliot Murphy) overseeing the recording and mixing. The magic is instantly present and the result meets all their expectations and more. Robyn can best describe in her own words the essence of Glow : « This is really a labor of love. These are the songs that I’ve always wanted to write and now I finally can. You know when you’re with someone and they just make you feel like anything is possible, like you can say and do what you always wanted to, you can just be you, and there’s nothing more beautiful than that ? Well, that is "Glow". » Robyn

Do you know Robyn Bennett?
Imagine a groovy soul-pop à la Stevie Wonder, mixed with a voice in the style of Whitney Houston that Janis Joplin would give her bluesy touch to ... funky guitars, urban drums, vintage keyboards and groovy riffs ... and on stage the mixture is explosive ! An electric energy reminiscent of Freddie Mercury that won't let you go. ... more
