At least for now

"That Benjamin Clementine has presence is clear from the outset. The London native has had an eventful life, as seen in biographical notes about homelessness and busking in Parisian Metro stations.But when he opens his mouth and starts to sing, you're floored by that extraordinary voice of his. It's the kind of voice which would convince lesser talents to ham it up, but Clementine mostly resists that temptation ... A strong, promising opening statement".

"His fascinating but flawed debut benefits from the bravery and adventurousness Clementine honed while tackling audiences aboard Parisian trains ... When he performs unadorned, melodies dripping from his fingertips, and letting fly from the heart, his voice is difficult to forget".

"At Least for Now is a pop record of sorts, but completely on his own terms, and like Antony Hegarty (an acknowledged influence) and Rufus Wainwright, two artists who have similar aspirations of pseudo-classical grandeur, Clementine will no doubt be polarizing for many listeners. There is no question, however, of his raw talent, poeticism, and knack for beguiling melodies, and in this oversaturated market, the true mavericks will always rise above the din".
