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.
