Chosen Line is Benny Walker’s third studio album.  Produced by Jan Skubiszewski and Pip Norman the album features co-writes with both producers along with musicians George Carpenter [Your Place] and Desmond Masé / Rachael Lia Carne [We’re Home]. 

Chosen Line had it’s full 6 piece band live debut at the recent Port Fairy Folk Festival and will be officially released on on Friday 5th June 2020. 

Chosen Line is a full album experience and showcases both sides of Benny Walker. Tracks All Ya Gotta Do Is Call and I Don’t Blame You are both strong Blues bass tracks that have yielded Benny’s highest streaming figures to date. Current single We’re Home and title track Chosen Line showcase his more introverted soulful nature. 

“Chosen Line” could’ve been called “Songline” or even “Unchosen Line”. The title represents my “chosen” career path. I didn’t really choose it. I embraced it. I come from a long line of storytellers and musicians, and they’ve all had a significant impact on the person I’ve become and the musician that I am. I’m a Yorta Yorta man and in our culture, we would call that my Songline. Yorta Yorta visual artist, John Patten, created the album artwork taking into account my songline and the Yorta Yorta totem the long-neck turtle as well as the river that also represents the fretboard of a guitar. says Benny Walker

Said to be one of the best voices in Australia, Yorta Yorta man Benny Walker never fails to take you on a emotionally driven journey. “Walker’s voice has the drag and timbre of a natural soul man...”  Michael Dwyer 

Hailing from regional Victoria, Indigenous singer/songwriter Benny Walker with a voice that is said to have the drag and timbre of a natural soul man …his music is pure blues-rock, buoyed by clean, lyrical guitar solos and the throb of electric organ.

Benny’s love songs and epic tales are mixed with passion for the land, the people and deep grooves that reach the soul. 

His third studio album CHOSEN LINE will be released on June 5th and features All Ya Gotta Do Is Call and We’re Home. Both songs shot to No. 1 on the AMRAP charts and are streaming strongly across Spotify and Apple Music. These latest songs produced by Jan Skubiszewski mix Blues and Roots with a contemporary guitar driven soul vibe. 

In 2016 Benny earned four NIMA nominations and the award for “Best Aboriginal Talent” at The Age Music Victoria Awards. An accomplished solo performer, Walker is regularly joined on stage by his band, where he replaces his acoustic guitar with a Stratocaster and indulges his passion for the big blues-rock sound. 

In 2017 Benny’s new single GHOST and its EP Undercover; both debuted at No.1 on the iTunes Blues Chart. It was then he captured the attention of Byron Bay Bluesfest boss Peter Noble. “I saw Benny play at a guitar festival …. did he EVER deliver…. I really think he has a big future coming… and I’m putting my money where my mouth is…. and booked him again this year for our 30th Bluesfest 2019. Two years in a row…” Byron Bluesfest Boss Peter Noble

2020: People stand alone, yet the world comes together.

The Fight For Love: Lockdown and empty streets, lies and half-truths, a horrifying death toll that grows everyday.

In the face of disaster, humanity prevails: frontline heroes, peaceful protesters, enduring love. New reserves of improvisation, solidarity and resolve, pockets of purpose and joy.

Footage from the public, global broadcasts, graphics and news reports. The soundtrack: brand new and unreleased AMF music alongside the acclaimed Gospel House Trilogy. A 60 minute legacy of the struggle; a time capsule.

An uplifting story of the covid crisis worldwide: keep fighting for love. Keep fighting for truth. We are stronger TOGETHER. 

After 2020, nothing can be the same again.

2020: THE FIGHT FOR LOVE – Thursday 11th June at 8PM BST

Ivy Flindt – Give It A Break

Give It A Break is a stunning release from duo Ivy Flindt, made up of Cate Martin and Micha Holland. The release is reminiscent of Dido, The National and Lucy Dacus, whilst still retaining it’s individuality. The video is an open invitation to escape the world we are currently living in, with a wealth of nostalgic nature shots, parting clouds and soaring birds. The single initially opens as an easy going ballad before developing into altogether darker endeavour, and it’s narrative fits neatly into today’s climate.

Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L – Ballerina & Blackbird

Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L is navigating through his own universe. The Brooklyn born hip-hop artist began writing as a form of self-recognition, but the floaty ambivalence of his music paired with his gymnastic lyrical abilities immediately caught the ears of the people around him. Producer WhatsHisName, and member of Free Creation Label, provides the interplanetary vibe that rides underneath all of his. This time around, it’s in the form of Ballerina & Blackbird.

John Dhali – Thought Train

John Dhali hails from the North West of England, but is currently somewhere in Cheshire on his once London-bound narrowboat. The change in journey is down to the change in all of our circumstances, and the artist has a new musical offering which carries a message for all those in isolation. The track, titled Thought Train, is all about staying connected in these darkened times. The release has been written in aid of the Shiva Trust and you can support their work via John’s go fund me linked here. Check out ‘Thought Train’

The Beamish Brothers – Nature

The Beamish Brothers, (comprised of Ben and Jeremy Beamish) bring their usual songwriting flair with their first release of 2020, and it couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. All eyes are on them after they teased their new anthemic and environmentally conscious single “Nature” on national TV during the Eurovision Australia Decides broadcast, for which they were runner-ups.

SilverCoast – Try

SilverCoast are a rock outfit hailing from Scotland, whose influences stretch from Feeder, You Me At Six and Neck Deep. Formed back in 2012, the Inverness 5-piece’s newest single Try is a hard-hitting punkish single, with pop elements in its core. With sing-along chorus and hooky guitar riffs, the band look set to make their mark this year. Listen to the single.

Perfectparachutepicture – They Only Want

Perfectparachutepicture, or PPP, formed back in 2013 and the duo is made up of Kyle Ernest (Drums, Vocals) and Edward James (Bass). Despite their less than familiar set-up, the pair lose nothing in sheer power, with each riff proving more anthemic than the last. This comes to the fore in They Only Want, which is the bands first release since their self-released album ‘No Modern Desire’ towards the tail-end of 2019.

Stock Footage – You And Me

Formed in Chicago back in 2014, Stock Footage are reeling from their triumphant single ‘Broken Together’, which has received notable acclaim within the blog community and success on DSPs. Their latest offering, You and Me, is a cut from a similar cloth and is a culmination of pop flair and noughties indie charm.

Lachie A’rden – Into The Night

Australian born producer, Lachie A’rden, is set to release his uplifting EDM single Into The Night. The release follows ‘Sacred’, Lachie’s stunning debut which drew acclaim from The Noise Gate, The release is primarily guided by an inspiring vocal, perfectly placed above driving percussion and a carefully crafted bed of strings and synths. Packed with driving rhythms and relentless bass grooves make this track the perfect pre-summer anthem.

R3HAB explores uncharted sonic territory on “Bésame (I Need You),” his sultry new collaboration with singer/actress TINI and Latin GRAMMY-winning Latin Pop trio Reik. We quickly find out what happens when three powerhouses of this magnitude come together, as the track subtly fuses exquisite elements of each one’s signature sound. R3HAB delivers his deep, driving drum bass lines that serve as the backbone of the song, asking listeners to get up and dance, while Reik‘s influence plays with Latin-infused melodies that give “Bésame (I Need You)” exotic appeal. Platinum-certified TINI and Reik come together for a female/male vocal group, evoking images of a balmy and enthralling night out dancing. The single is out now on Hollywood Records and follows R3HAB‘s releases “Feel Alive” for “SCOOB!” movie’s soundtrack as well as “Be Okay” with HRVY.

“Right after we started working on the song, it was clear what the sound of the track will be like. Tini & Reik brought the perfect energy, which you can hear throughout the entire song. “Besame (I Need You)” is being released right in time to provide these necessary summer vibes to our fans.” – R3HAB

“I am so excited to work with Reik and Rehab. I find it very interesting to explore new musical styles, and Bésame definitely has a special sound, distinctive from other songs. I feel very honored to collaborate with these two great artists.” – TINI

“We love the song. It’s super energetic, it makes one dance and have fun all the time. It’s one of those songs that you really just wanna jump to. Looking back, we remember meeting TINI at a concert in Argentina when she was 15, or so. It’s crazy now having the song together with her. About R3HAB, we just recently met him, and we love what he does. He already remixed our earlier single “Si Me Dices Que Si,” and it blew our mind, as he took the song to another dimension. Collaborating with R3HAB again is awesome” – Reik

Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul – better known as R3HAB – has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the “future of the craft” by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he’s circuited the globe’s best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album “Trouble” through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music’s heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like “Lullaby” and “Hold On Tight,” while his sophomore album “The Wave,” revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB‘s “All Around The World”’ with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. It was followed by “Flames,” R3HAB‘s collaboration with ZAYN.

Since her 2016 debut album, TINI has become a global phenomenon, with a social following of 24 million and 3 billion combined audio and video streams. TINI toured Europe and Latin America on her headline “Quiero Volver” tour in 2019/2020, including 9 sold-out Luna Park shows in Buenos Aires. TINI‘s most recent releases include “Recuerdo” (99 million combined streams), “Oye” (301 million combined streams), Gold-certified “Fresa” (379 million streams), and Platinum-certified “22” (365 million combined streams.) TINI has had numerous collaborations with fellow A-list artists, including Sebastian Yatra, Karol G, Morat, Greeicy, Cali y El Dandee, Mau & Ricky, Alesso, Jonas Blue, Alvaro Soler, Ovy on the Drums, Nacho and The Vamps. TINI will also be joining Alejandro Sanz as a judge on the upcoming season of THE VOICE (La Voz) in Spain, airing later this year.
