Even though it actually says 'Ben Saunders' on the cover, the majority of Dutch people still call him 'Ben from The Voice'. The winner of the Netherlands' most popular TV talent show keeps up the pace and has already released his second CD a year after his debut. In his own words, he also has a third album on the shelf. For Heart & Soul he collaborated with Sven Figee, known as the driving force
… behind Sven Hammond Soul. Sven plays on every song, but unfortunately he doesn't let his Hammond scream as often as in his own project. Heart & Soul starts out promising, but the oversentimental ballads get the momentum out of this record. And while Saunders can actually sing, he doesn't have a voice that is recognizable by thousands. Fortunately, there are still a few songs with hit potential on Heart & Soul, so that Ben can remain in the spotlight for a while. (PdK)more
