Benjamin Clementine announces new album ‘I Tell A Fly’

A few weeks back, Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine unveiled a new track, ‘Phantom of Aleppoville’ and now he’s announced details of his upcoming new album.

‘I Tell A Fly’ will be out on 15th September via Virgin/EMI, and it’s been entirely written and produced by the musician himself. Speaking of the album, Benjamin said: “I have written my second piece called I Tell A Fly. In little words - it’s a story about two wandering flies finding fleet. I am neither a politician nor prophet but an artist who creates to only entertain is no better than a con. I hope this album fulfils its purpose as the continuation from At Least For Now”.
