On Thursday (11/19), the singer-songwriter unveiled the 5-song tracklist which includes reworked singles, 'Araw't Gabi,' and 'Wine'. The new EP will also feature a version of the fan favourite, 'Wine', with Singaporean singer-songwriter Charlie Lim. The collaboration made its live debut last November 2018, when the pair performed at a tourism showcase.
Clara Benin shares letters to her younger self
In a message to Bandwagon, producer Francis Lorenzo (The Ringmaster) keeps to the theme of alcohol as he likens Benin's voice to a great bottle of whisky. "I suppose the best part [of working with Benin] was the freedom and allowing me to insert some sonic trademarks when I wanted to! Also, CB has one of those unfairly gifted voices where it would stand alone as it is, like a great bottle of whiskey. There's that fun challenge of making sure I don't ruin such a drink by adding all that weird fruit mix. Sometimes an extra looking block of clear ice, fancy glass, and a perfect ambience is all it needed," he shares.
Released on 27 November, Fragments EP is the followup to Benin's recent releases 'It's Okay' and 2019 EP, I Rose Up Slowly. Ahead of the official release, Benin held a listening party for her Patreon community.
