In Jose Spinnin Cortes' own words: In a time where things are becoming more and more over-simplified, a work this elaborate stands out even more and I am confident that the luxury-infused sound on this album will come as a breathe of fresh air for both BK’s fans and new listeners alike. And finally as if the music wasn’t enough Benjamin delights us with a compound of sexy images and artworks from photographers and illustrators that give life to the music you’ll hear on this record, putting all of it together on a listening companion book full of nostalgia and hope for a better future.
Following the tradition set with his two previous albums, Once In A Lifetime is released alongside a 94 page paperback listening companion photo book including all the lyrics, and more than 60 photos for your viewing pleasure and expanded artwork, among them, illustrations by the artists Marco ByM Veloso (Brasil) and Mr Qu (Mexico).
In Benjamin's words: This book will be your listening companion to Once In A Lifetime, a special event album showcasing my project Perfected. We'll travel through its 14 songs together, discovering new images and artwork, lyrics and more, and let me tell you, there's a whole new universe to explore.
One of the things I love about making music is getting together with a friend and listening to the new songs while we talk about them. I want you to enjoy this album with me and make that moment special, which is why I'm giving you this listening guide.
I'm going to introduce you to each song in turn, along with the lyrics and the photos that inspired them, because I believe that music should be an experience for all the senses. My advice: make yourself comfortable and isolate yourself from the world, let's enjoy this time together.
When I started working on this book, I decided to apply the "remix" concept of the album to it, so you'll find a departure from the previous style as well as new and improved versions of the artwork I shared on my social media profiles, plus lots of new and exciting stuff on the leisure and zero gravity decks. All in the spirit of making sure you have a good time enjoying the whole world created around this project.
