Benjamin Diamond

Benjamin Diamond (born Benjamin Cohen, March 11, 1972 in Paris, France) is a French singer.

He started life as a punk rocker in the band Chicken Pox, but taking inspiration from artists such as New Order, Michael Jackson, and Roxy Music, he veered towards electro and joined The Party. However, he is best known for his collaboration in Stardust with Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk). He sang the lyrics in their 1998 single "Music Sounds Better With You", which was an international success. This sparked interest in Diamond's own music.

In 2001, he released his first album "Strange Attitude", which included his earlier singles "Little Scare" and "In Your Arms (We Gonna Make It)". Also in 2001, he released the EP "Solitaire", which included a number of tracks he had produced especially for the Dior Autumn-Winter'01 fashion parade. In Martin James's book "French Connections" (p.275), his record company at the time (Sony) is suggested to have wanted Strange Attitude to be an album in Stardust-style. At the same place, Benjamin Diamond says that he found it "very difficult to go back to my own style of music after Stardust".

However, in mid 2005, he released his second album, "Out of Myself", which was much more pop-oriented than his first album. "Let's get high" and "There is a girl" were released as singles.
