release description

The influence of classic soul and jazz greats of yesteryear comes to mind when you hear Rhian Benson sing. Her songs are effortless, elegant and timeless in a way that is rare in this era of artists. With the help of Danish rising star production duo, Daniel Fridell and Jonas Rendbo, Rhian has diligently and lovingly cooked up the ingredients for her new album, Hands Clean. The exciting new sound she drapes her voice across is a stark and soulful collection of pulsating electronic grooves; a hidden ground where Sade meets DJ Shadow. Rhian has been nurturing her expressive style and is looking forward to showing the world more of her exquisite soulful sound.

The confessional tales of love and life on Hands Clean, Rhian's sophomore album, represent a new direction for this singular artist as she journeys beyond the Gold Coast.

"I experienced great change in my life since writing my first album so when I began writing Hands Clean all I wanted to do was create a sound that in some way captured that state of flux."
