Fans who still request “Miracle”, one of Toronto radio station CFNY’s top songs of all time, and for which he was nominated "Most Promising Male Vocalist" in the CASBY Awards, or who watched the “Power of Love” video when it played in high rotation on Much Music back in the ‘80’s, will be pleased to discover Benjamin Russell is launching a new CD in 2010. "Rockhill" is a collection of songs (mostly) written in a high-rise hideaway in the late '70s and never recorded until now. Russell is a trans-genre eclectic artist with folk roots and pop/rock/country branches. He is an original melodic poetic songwriter whose thought-provoking lyrics explore contemporary emotional & social landscapes. His wide and expressive vocal range combines with versatile, accomplished acoustic and electric guitar and sax. The album's glue is Russell's unique artistic perspective which runs from the gritty sampled folk pop of "Starved" through to the beautiful sentiments of the pure country song, "Garden", touching and infusing this diverse collection of 17 songs with his wide palette of influences.
