Singer, songwriter, DJ and producer Ben Westbeech presents his new album “There’s More To Life Than This” – a soulful, inspired by house music gem.
“There’s More To Life Than This” Ben’s is more than overdue second album. After his first exclamation mark in 2006 – “So Good Today” – he was taken by Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings’ upcoming contract. His 2007er debut album “Welcome To The Best Years Of Your Life” was enthusiastically received. Along with this success, the expectations were rising in him and also the fears, the level at his subsequent publications are not to keep. It followed months full of weariness, disorientation and uninspired – lost in musical limbo.
“For a while after ‘Welcome To’, I did not feel inspired,” he explains. “I got a bit lost, a bit disillusioned. I was getting lots of work as a DJ, enjoying life, but I did not have any hunger. Towards the end of it all, I asked myself, what do I have to show for the past few months? It just was not a productive time for me. I had fun, but I just was not making enough good music. ”
