Benjamin Koll is back in 2020 with his most mature album yet.
“All Systems Go” Includes 14 songs that span over an hour of previously unreleased music with deep, insightful lyrics interlaced with a gorgeous sonic landscape with heavy influences on R&B and house music showing a natural evolution from his previous debut album.
Benjamin’s deep vocals help create a blend that sounds modern and sexy, and still manages to keep a retro feel that is a now staple in his sound.
The album features 12 songs written and produced by him plus “Love Is All That Matters” produced by Jose Spinnin Cortes and a trancey cover of Chris Rea’s classic “Looking For The Summer”. The unplugged version of “Love Is All That Matters” that closes the album features guitars by Gary Guzman from Chicago, and the lyrics for “I Think That I’m Falling” were written with Trevor-John Donovan. You will also find “Te Quiero Junto A Mi”, his first song in Spanish.
The album has been mastered for iTunes by Grammy Award Winner Fernando Alvarez (440 Mastering), and the artwork is designed again by Pablo Vazquez.

What is it about?
This book will be your listening companion to All Systems Go, my second musical album. We will travel together through it's fourteen songs discovering pictures, the stories that inspired them, their lyrics and much more, and I can tell you there’s much more this time.
One of the things I love about making music is getting together with a friend and listen to the new songs while we talk about them. I want you to enjoy this album with me and make this something special, that's why I wrote this listening companion.
I'll be introducing you each song in order, first the lyrics, then some insights, motivations and feelings about them, and of course pictures and illustrations inspired by them, because I believe music must be an experience for all the senses. My advice: get confortable and isolate yourself from the world, let’s enjoy this time together.
This album is called All Systems Go because I’m ready, I feel we’ve got closer enough to open up and talk about more stuff, go deeper, try new things.
I hope these songs help you overcome some of your fears and be a better version of yourself, they sure did help me.
There’s a huge element of sex on my relation with you, and I will address that as well, taking a step further. At the same time, I’ll let you know a little more about me, sometimes in scintillating pillow talk, other times opening my heart like I’ve never done it before.
This is what you'l find inside the book:
In Jose Spinnin Cortes' own words: This album makes me so happy because it has sparked my interest in buying music again, let me explain why. There is finally again new music I can hear and that is more suitable for the adult listener. The lyrics speak to my heart. On top of that, you have a gorgeous artwork that follows the aesthetic of the previous one, but it also feels more crafted and elevated. This is precisely the type of work I’d be happy to buy.
