Benjamin Koll returned in 2020 with his most mature album to date.
"All Systems Go" features 14 songs that span over an hour of previously unreleased music with deep, insightful lyrics intertwined with a gorgeous sonic landscape with heavy influences on R&B and house music, showing a natural progression from his previous debut album.
Benjamin's deep vocals help create a blend that sounds modern and sexy, yet still manages to maintain a retro feel that is now a staple of 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" closes the album with Chicago guitarist Gary Guzman, and "I Think That I'm Falling" features lyrics written with Trevor-John Donovan. You will also find here "Te Quiero Junto A Mi", his first song written in Spanish.
The album was mastered for iTunes by Grammy winner Fernando Alvarez (440 Mastering), with artwork by Pablo Vazquez.
Continuing the tradition begun on Songs for a Better Future, this album comes with the online release of the paperback Listening Companion Photo Book, where you can learn more about each of the songs and their backstories, as well as all of the lyrics and more than 70 never-before-seen photos of Benjamin for your viewing pleasure.

What is it about?
This book will be your listening companion to All Systems Go, my second musical album. We will travel together through its 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 book.
I'll be introducing you each song in order, first the lyrics, then I'll share with you motivations and trivia about them, and as in my previous book, 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 become a better version of yourself, rest assured they helped me.
There is a strong sexual element to my relationship with you that I am going to address, taking it a step further. At the same time, I want us to get to know each other a little more intimately, imagine us in bed talking, opening up like never 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.
