Benne
Singer-songwriter | Rotterdam
English debut EP ‘Armored Goosebump’ by Benne finally released!
6 new songs. 6 examples of previously published and now beautifully translated stories in verse. Sung with a deep, warm voice by the Dutch poet Benne and clearly influenced by greats like Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave. Honest, heartfelt, vulnerable, hardcore. Music and production by singer/songwriter and longtime friend Martijn van Dijk.
The title track is the first one to be complemented by a video on Youtube with more to follow in the months ahead. According to the poet himself this EP somehow feels like the next logical step in his career, a way to open up to the world at large. Which is both exhilarating and terrifying. We hope you like how ‘Armored Goosebump’ turned out. Want more information? Please don’t hesitate. Thnks for the love!
Others about my (Dutch) writing:
The poet Hanz Mirck in an issue of Bookblad Magazine: ‘This poet knows how to capture your attention, on paper as well as on stage.’
The poet and author Rob Chrispijn: ‘Benne writes sentences that stick, clean, dark and intense. This way a poem lasts!’
The poet Philip Hoorne on the website Poetry Rapport: ‘There’s a genius hiding in Benne van der Velde, those are the Good Tidings of today. Amen.’
