Onono, Ben : Tattoo Blue
Nigerian-raised Ben Onono is already being compared to Finley Quaye and Sade.
Clear a space on your coffee table now. With
a ready-made stamp of approval from Faithless[/url]
and Ibiza's come-down haven, Cafe Del Mar, Nigerian-raised Ben
Onono is already being compared to Finley Quaye and Sade[/url].
Or at least, that's what it says here. He's got silken soul vocals fit to
soundtrack a thousand seduction scenes, a muted, nodding jazz beat and, ahem,
smooth grooves worthy of the most chilled Sunday afternoon. It's everything you
should hate. Except, dammit, it's actually quite good.
