Declan Bennett is a British singer-songwriter who writes candid, hard-hitting, pop music. He has a witty and poetic way with words, a unique take on life and unashamedly shares his honest tales of life, love and sexuality with his ever-growing audience of listeners.

New Album

‘record:BREAKUP’

Recorded in New York, the album, on CovBoy Records, is available from digital stores worldwide including iTunes and amazon from 25th April 2011. The new album tackles familiar themes of heartbreak and infidelity in a collection of 12 songs, designed to be heard in sequence, charting the journey through the final weeks of a relationship. 'record:BREAKUP' maintains the intimacy of his first two acoustically led records, while introducing a fuller, more electric feel. As well as the familiar, frank approach to songwriting there is an intriguing new move towards a bigger sound.

'record:BREAKUP' is a story to be heard by all who have felt the urgency of love. The urgency of racing towards an impending ending. The urgency of change and of moving on. And finally realising that what you were looking for, you may have had in front of you all along.

Reviews for previous albums

UNCUT **** ‘Bennett has crafted some unusual variations on the acoustic singer-songwriter template… gripping lyrics.’

ROCK ‘N’ REEL**** ‘Bennett brings a refreshingly open mind and telling eye for detail to his stories of love, life and sexuality, delivering a powerful emotional punch without ever resorting to the usual singer-songwriter trap of over-introspection.’

GT**** ‘Declan’s soulful vocals glide through the chatty, reflective lyrics.’

TIME OUT ‘A work of romantic and dramatic, emotionally expressive and very personal songcraft.’

GAYDARNATION.COM ‘A stunningly fresh, honest and mature offering, both thought-provoking and emotive, commercial in appeal, yet uncompromisingly different in approach.’
