I have been patiently waiting for the prince of soul Ben l’Oncle Soul to drop his new album, it has been over 3 years since he released his self titled debut album in 2010. Well the time has come! The new album A Coup De Rêves is set to be released this week and he continues where he left off from his first album and brings that soul heat. The new album is backed by the talented soul funk band The Monophonics, and while it has more of a laid back feel, Ben L’Oncle Soul ‘s voice is still on point. I personally think his voice fits better with a more bluesy soul sound. Check out the song Simply Beautiful featuring Keziah Jones, it is cover of the classic Al Green song, but together they make it their own while still keeping that classic Al Green sound. Don’t Sleep on this album.

French soul heavyweight Ben L’Oncle Soul has been hard working on his sophomore album and he ready to release the album this year. Hallelujah (J’ai tant besoin de toi) is the first single off the album, the whole album is backed by the fantastic Monophonics. In fact, the whole album was recorded and produced with the Monophonics at their studio in Califormia. The new single is a real soul burner. As well, there is a crazy collaboration between L’Oncle Ben and the super talented Gregory Porter doing a rendition of Bill Withers’ Grandma’s hands. Check both videos out!
