The singer and songwriter known as
Marko Benn has released his latest full-length record, “Just
Remains.” The album contains 10 original tracks for an approximate
total listening time of 35 minutes. It has been proudly published as
an independent release without the support or influence of the
corporate music industry. Raw, unmitigated and full of sonic emotion,
“Just Remains” is the definitive work from this remarkable
singer-songwriter from Ontario's burgeoning music underground.
Marko Benn cites as main artistic
influences Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) and Danny Shirran
of Dubai, UAE. His own music falls not far from these trees, being
largely founded on heartfelt vocals and rhythmic and ringing acoustic
guitar chords. Benn's singing is a masculine kind of beautiful,
genuine and true, his guitar work straightforward and strong.
Still, Marko Benn's “Just Remains”
is a record based on songwriting more than any of its other high
qualities. In terms of chord progression and lyric poetry both, it is
a work of humble genius resonating outward from Benn's real-life
narrations.
Asked to describe the themes of his new
record, Benn writes, “The songs on this album come from experiences
in relationships. They relay messages of several emotions like love,
heartache and depression.”
Nevertheless, the album is uplifting
rather than sad. It is refreshing, invigorating, and often warm. The
effect is like a hand outstretched to the listener offering goodwill,
brotherhood, and the understanding that comes from having felt
several colors of pain.
Largely a studio musician, Marko Benn
has stated that his overarching goal in music is to raise funds for
sick children and their families.
“After personally experiencing the
need for support,” a representative for Marko Benn writes, “he
knows how important it is to help others.”
Marko Benn's popular single, “Precious
Moments” was made available on iTunes and elsewhere in 2012 with
all proceeds going towards this worthy cause.
