Benjamin Diamond (real name: Benjamin Cohen) is most famous for his collaboration with Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk fame) in the one-time band Stardust for the hit single 
Music Sounds Better With You back in 1997.
His new album CRUISE CONTROL will be out on October 27th 2008 on his label Diamondtraxx
He has already released two albums and one EP: (Diamond Traxx/Epic, 2000), Out Of Myself (!K7, 2005). Both albums are very different but are rated high in reviews. The first was made during the last bit of the French House craze led by Daft Punk, and is very electronic, partly under pressure of his record company at the time. The last one is more band-like, and could be described as friendly pop/rock, somewhat similar in sound to Phoenix, also from France.
Benjamin Diamond didn’t randomly pick up his name. Just like the biggest diamonds, Benjamin has multiple facets: songwriter, programmer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, art director of his own label…and of course, singer of the worldwide hit Music sounds better with you. The Stardust adventure, hanging up high on a cotton cloud with Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) and Alan Braxe, that was in 98, that’s ten years that he gave up his glitter mask to be a pop star, a singer, an entertainer…Just picture the hassle for a marketing intern to figure out how to label him.
After lots of compromises on his first two albums Strange Attitude and Out of Myself, Benjamin Diamond releases his third effort Cruise Control without the help of a record company. Indie as fuck, as some of his American friends would say. Furiously independent, would say his mom.
