Title: Jessie Ware - Tough Love
Post by: j.fco.morales on August 12, 2014, 09:44:55 PM
I don't know if you're into this kind of music, but seems like with her sophomore album by Jessie Ware is about to make it big.

Tough Love, the first single -produced by BenZel: Benny Blanco + Two Inch Punch- was released a couple weeks ago and it's very Prince-influenced.

The new single is Say You Love Me, produced again by Benny and Two Inch Punch and written by Jessie and Ed Sheeran.
To me, following the trends of Adele and Sam Smith, this would be a huge hit.

I really have a hard time making any sense of who BenZel is! On one hand sources(like this interview http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/jessie-wares-tough-love-writing-process-20140804) are claiming it's Benny Blanco and the guy behind Sam Smiths songs, Two Inch Punch(real name Ben Ash).
On the other hand though, the official Youtube channel and Soundcloud profile of BenZel is describing them as a duo of Japanese teenage girls..  ???
No idea wheter that's just some weird alter ego or the real deal.. But can definitely hear Benny Blanco influence in Tough Love and Ed Sheeran in Say You Love Me
None the less Though Love is a great song imo! :)

Knowing Benny, it would't be surprising that everything about these japanese girls is a joke.

I'd say the thing with the Japanese girls is the final proof that Benny Blanco is a part of them :D
Considering the jokes he's making on twitter / Instagram

The album is out.

And it's an amazing one, Benny did an amazing work on these songs with a more mainstream approach.

I'm pretty sure this will be a sleeper hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAMM8JVbr8g
