Icon

Benga ft. Bebe Black

Columbia

WE SAY

Featuring highly promising newcomer Bebe Black, Benga's Icon is the first single to be released from his forthcoming second album Chapter 2 (due August 27). Whilst Benga's roots are clearly placed in the club world, he's no stranger to producing crossover hits, with credits on three top 10's already under his belt, not to mention further outstanding works with the likes of Katy B and as one third of Magnetic Man. Chapter 2 will feature an array of vocal talent from - as yet - unannounced big names, to newcomer talents such as Bebe and Sweden’s Marlene Strand. This album seems certain to see Benga propelled to the charts in his own guise. At Koko on June 3, Benga will be performing a fully live show with new material with the first time with special guests including Joker, Youngman, Alunageorge and Dismantle among others (including a surprise). Video.

London Gig: June 3, Koko NW1
