Everything Is Within You by Ben Westbeech

Encapsulating Ben's appreciation of the power we all have within us to achieve joy and peace, as conveyed sonically by all the musicians involved, "Everything Is Within You" came together very naturally and organically. His first full length solo LP since the acclaimed "There's More To Life Than This" on Strictly Rhythm in 2011, "Everything Is Within You" showcases Ben's artistic development as a songwriter, curator and producer, as he steps into his role as producer and arranger, and away from lead vocalist.

This album is about speaking the truth. The truth from within. Luckily, I have been blessed to come across the paths of other artists that shared the same sentiment over the seas that dwell. These artists all feature heavily on this record. It isn't about me or you. It's about everything that is within.

Spotlighting featured artists such as Dames Brown (recorded by Moodymann in Detroit), RAHH, Hot Toddy, Karen Harding, DAVIE, and Obi Franky, and with the co-production credits including Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon, and Chris Penny, as well as Mousse T., the record was born out of a Glitterbox writing camp in London at Defected's studios. The collection of records that were made that week became a catalyst for the whole album, now arriving on Defected's Glitterbox Recordings.

An artist with a rich musical history, from the release of his mature debut album Welcome to the Best Years of Your Life for Gilles Peterson's Brownswood, to his chart-topping club records as Breach, and work as The Vision on Defected, the path to this new album has included periods of sobriety, self-work, spiritual exploration and the integration of a healthier outlook all round. Now based in Ibiza, the omnipresent energy of the magical island has permeated into the music on his new album, as well as the influence of his personal and spiritual growth.

Exploring a range of genres across the LP, from neo-soul to house influences, the breadth of Ben's musical knowledge is evident throughout the eight tracks. From the blissed-out piano grooves of "Times Are Changing" which has been since remixed by house royalty Louie Vega and Josh Milan as Two Soul Fusion, to the uplifting "Do Me Right" and the emotional soundscapes of "So Good To Me," "Everything Is Within You" emphasizes the guest vocalists. With exquisite live instrumentation and songwriting that give the record an evergreen feel, this is a timely album that exudes a contagious, positive vibe throughout, something the world needs right now.
