Don't miss supremely talented newcomer Benjamin Clementine show, Southbank Centre.

Watch out for newcomer Benjamin Clementime – a supremely talented singer-songwriter -  who will play a Southbank concert this Spring.

Discovered singing on the Paris Metro, it was an unlikely start for 25-year-old Londoner, his piano and his serious soul. He got himself noticed last October on Later With Jools Holland, when he performed his tragedy-tinged paean to home Cornerstone with such gusto (and bare feet) that he floored the studio. His performance was one of those moments on Later when you feel a thrill of discovery (Remember Bon Iver in 2008, Sigur Ros in 2006?). He promptly became Spotify’s most shared artist in the UK for a week. 

So far the self-taught singer and pianist has released only two EPs: Cornerstone and Glorious You: works of seriousness and languor. His move to the French capital, where he found himself homeless and sang covers for change on the metro, has been a strong influence on his songwriting. Clementine has mastered Parisian thoughtfulness, shaped by poetry and melancholy, more heartfelt than the grittier sounds of London. 

Clementine seems destined to do things on a grand scale, despite his humble beginnings. Don't miss this gig.

    What the critics say

    TELEGRAPH

    "Clementine’s jaunty, arresting performance style veers between spoken word and raw explosion of song, accompanied by eloquent piano lines."

    Alice Vincent

    EVENING STANDARD

    "One of the most extraordinary new musical talents to have emerged in a long while."

    David Smyth
