Recording artist, television personality, and entertainer Reggie Benjamin has launched one of the most personal releases of his career with the worldwide arrival of his new eight-track album Harmony In Blue: The Duets, released on July 17. Bringing together acclaimed figures from music, television, and film, the project celebrates the lasting influence of classic songwriting while creating fresh interpretations for a new generation of listeners.

The album’s emotional centerpiece is Benjamin’s heartfelt rendition of ‘I Just Wanna Be Your Everything’, the timeless pop favourite originally recorded by Andy Gibb and written by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees. Approaching the song with warmth, sincerity, and contemporary sophistication, Benjamin honours the spirit of the original while adding his own distinctive artistry to a track that has remained beloved for decades.

“Harmony In Blue: The Duets represents the power of connection through music,” Benjamin says. “These songs have touched generations of listeners, and bringing together such incredible artists has been an unforgettable experience.”

The album features a remarkable collection of collaborations with Lisa Vanderpump, Joe Mantegna, Jodie Sweetin, James Maslow, Dermot Mulroney, and Iwona Benjamin, with each performer offering a unique interpretation of songs that have become part of the global musical landscape.

Among the album’s highlights is Benjamin’s moving duet with Lisa Vanderpump on ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’, a beautifully intimate performance that captures the song’s emotional depth. His collaboration with Joe Mantegna on ‘Send In The Clowns’ delivers a dramatic and theatrical reading, while ‘Love Yourself’ featuring James Maslow brings an uplifting message of confidence and self-belief. The collection closes with the deeply personal duet ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’, performed alongside Iwona Benjamin.

More than a collection of reimagined classics, Harmony In Blue: The Duets is a celebration of the relationships and emotions that keep great music alive. Through each collaboration, Benjamin explores how timeless songs continue to inspire audiences across different generations and cultures.

The release adds another achievement to Benjamin’s remarkable international career. Widely recognised as one of the most successful Indian pop artists on the global stage, he has built a multifaceted career across music, television, fashion, and live entertainment. His debut solo album 2X-Centrix delivered international chart success, with singles ‘Ride’ and ‘Hurry Up’ reaching dance charts in more than 30 countries. Benjamin has also hosted programmes for major networks including MTV, Sony TV, Zee Music, Oxygen, ITV, and CTV, while making history as the first Indian pop artist to chart on Billboard.

Beyond its musical ambitions, Harmony In Blue: The Duets carries a powerful charitable mission. Seventy-five percent of proceeds from the album will be donated to support charitable organisations, including Vanderpump Dogs and a human trafficking charity that has chosen to remain anonymous for security reasons. Through the project, Benjamin hopes to use music as a vehicle for positive change and meaningful impact.

The album release will be followed by a special celebration on July 18, marking both the success of the new record and Reggie and Iwona Benjamin’s 10-year wedding anniversary. The event will bring together family, friends, collaborators, and supporters for an evening dedicated to music, love, and shared memories.

With Harmony In Blue: The Duets, Reggie Benjamin delivers a deeply personal tribute to the songs that have shaped generations, proving that powerful melodies and meaningful collaborations continue to transcend time and boundaries.
