Benjamin Clementine Collaborates With Vacheron Constantin & Abbey Road Studios On New Track ‘Eternity’
Inspired by Oscar Wilde, ‘Eternity’ is the artist’s personal interpretation of Wilde’s poem ‘The True Knowledge’.
Artist and poet Benjamin Clementine has released ‘Eternity’, his first new recording in over a year, as part of a unique collaboration with master watch-makers Vacheron Constantin and Abbey Road Studios. The song is out now and you can hear it below.
Inspired by the Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde, one of Clementine’s favourite writers, ‘Eternity’ is the artist’s personal interpretation of Wilde’s acclaimed poem ‘The True Knowledge’.
The elegant and emotional composition features Clementine’s vocal and piano embellished by a 12-piece string orchestra, led by cellist and long-time collaborator, Barbara Le Liepvre. ‘Eternity’ was recorded in Studio Two at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and was produced by Clementine. It features in Vacheron Constantin’s new communications campaign, ‘One of Not Many’.
