Love Is a Story is a dynamic blend of electronica and pop rock that runs the spectrum from somber songs of loss to dancy tunes about first dates and falling in love. Hailing from Oklahoma City, singer/songwriter/producer Benji Kay took lessons learned from bands from Queen to Jack’s Mannequin and brought them deep into the realm of the analog synth and the T-Pain effect with his debut LP The Science of Sound in 2009. A cut from that album, “Take Control,” was featured on an episode of MTV’s The Real World: Brooklyn in March of that year, and immediately following the LIAS MySpace player was seeing 30,000 plays a day while the track shot to the top of the iTunes electronic charts. Benji took the royalties from this placement, packed up, and moved out to LA to make a career out of his passion.
His new surroundings have inspired three new songs, with a sound that is more natural and yet still doesn’t stray much too far from Love Is a Story’s electronic roots. These became The Hills EP, released August 2010. |
