Artist Of The Week -- Benjamin Diamond

Benjamin Diamond started life as a punk rocker in the band Chicken Pox, but taking inspiration from artists such as New Order, Michael Jackson, and Roxy Music, he veered towards electro-pop and joined The Party. However, he is best known for his collaboration in Stardust with Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk). He sang the lyrics in their 1998 single "Music Sounds better with you", which was an international success. In 2001, Benjamin released his first album Strange Attitude, which included his earlier singles "Little Scare" and "In Your Arms (We Gonna Make It)". Also in 2001, he released the EP Solitaire, which included a number of tracks he had produced especially for the Dior Autumn-Winter '01 fashion parade. Benjamin Diamond says that he found it "very difficult to go back to my own style of music after Stardust".

However, in mid 2005, he released his second album, Out of Myself, which was much more pop-oriented than his first album. Let's get high and There is a girl were released as singles. Benjamin has continually been performing throughout France European Union and the UK. On July 9th of this year Benjamin Diamond released his heavily anticipated album Cruise Control.
