Have you ever felt abandoned by God? All alone with no one to turn to?

66notes take us on an emotional lyrical journey on our new bass-heavy trap banger “Don’t Ever Let Me Go” produced by BenOaks. Which also features a spoken word intro by Circumstantial Saint.

This single is remarkable since it is the first time Ben has started a beat. Finished mixing it. Sent to 66notes. And 66notes sent his mix back- all within 24 hours.

BenOaks and 66notes have been making music together for over 10 years but have yet to meet in person! Circumstantial Saint & BenOaks released their debut spoken word + R&B album this past fall.

Since meeting a few weeks ago, Brother Ray & BenOaks have performed their favorite R&B classic, Bill Wither’s “Ain’t No Sunshine” a few times.

This is actually how they met too! BenOaks walked into Lancaster’s Penn Square (in the center of town) to busk like he usually does most Saturdays around noon. But someone was already in his favorite spot!

What a pleasant surprise when this person, Brother Ray, starts to sing Ben’s favorite song “Ain’t No Sunshine”! He then performs another of his faves- Sam Cooke’s “Change Gonna Come” 🙂

Ben ran home & grabbed his guitar. They’ve been rockin together ever since! They have already started recording Brother Ray’s debut album! Stay tuned!

Announcing the debut album from the dynamic duo of affirmations & spoken word poet Circumstantial Saint & the notorious, polarizing, underground hiphop / electro / R&B / reggae recording artist BenOaks. Ben considers this album to be his “masterpiece. I can now die satisfied with my music career”.

66notes & BenOaks were in a triphop group called The Numinous. The Numinous released an EP & a full-length album CHAPTER ZERO. You can find them on Spotify, Apple, etc. After The Numinous disbanded, 66notes & BenOaks have continued as a dynamic duo releasing over 5 albums together in just about 10 years. Did you know THEY HAVE NOT yet met in person??
