On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released on the 29th September 2017 it is Benjamin Clementine second studio album which is called "I Tell A Fly".

Benjamin Clementine is a British Avant-garde artist and a poet who I have enjoyed listening to since his mercury winning album in 2015 "At Least For Now". Which is a fantastic debut album. With great tracks such as "Gone", "Adios", "Condolence", "Winston Churchill's Boy" and many more great tracks to represent a fantastic album. 2 years later Benjamin releases his second album which I thought to myself Benjamin is getting better and better. He is one of the artists that never disappoints their fans. Benjamin is an interesting artist his music is so interesting. Discussing more about this album I just found it very interesting because the production is different to his first album. The music is interesting it has really good tracks on this album. Tracks such as "Phantom Of Aleppoville", and "Jupiter" are to be two of the strongest tracks on this album. However there is other tracks which are strong tracks on this album as well. The first track I heard which was released in a music video which I saw in a video before the album was going to be released was a track called "Phantom Of Aleppoville". Which was a mind blowing track I was amazed on how great the track is I loved the Piano part on the track I love how this tracks builds up. Discussing more about this album all I can say is Benjamin's new album is just fantastic it could defintley be in my "Top 20 Best Albums of 2017 which I will do a blog about my top 20 best albums of 2017 in December. This album should definitely be on the list. This album was a way for Benjamin to try something new and it was also to show that he is back. I am really glad that Benjamin is back I really enjoyed this album a lot but I just cannot pick which one is better all of his two albums are great.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Farewell Sonata", "God Save The Jungle", "Phantom Of Aleppoville", "Jupiter", "One Awkward Fish", and "By The Ports Of Europe". Starting off with the track "Farewell Sonata". Which is the opening track to the album. I found this really good I love the build up when Benjamin sings"Birds that cannot fly and fishes that cannot swim and black and white and man and what anomaly..." The build up to when Benjamin sings is really good the piano melody starts to become higher and higher it is just an amazing track to start off the album. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "God Save The Jungle". which was another good track. The production is really good and it is an interesting track. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Phantom Of Aleppoville". This track was so different than the others it sounded a bit like opera singing in the middle of the track I loved how the build up was kind of suspense on what the track is going to happen next. Moving to the next track which was a track called "Jupiter". This track has some really interesting lyrics as well for example "Wishing Americana happy wishing Americana free". Which is interesting lyrics as well it is a calmful track. "One Awkward Fish". Was another one of my favourite tracks. This track sounded a bit like Drum n bass the production on is really good its sounds a mixture of drum n bass to normal piano instrumental music. Lastly my last favourite track which is the track that I enjoyed a lot "By The Ports Of Europe". This Track is so good I cannot stop singing to this. It has such a calmful tone to it. I literally cannot stop singing to this its defintley the best track on this album. My least favourite track was a track called "Better Sorry Than A Safe". It is still a good track but I just did not enjoy it a lot as the other ones.

Overall this album has been fantastic it is great to see Benjamin back. I would defintley listen to this album again. Overall it is a 9/10
