Phil Bensen updated fans on his blog at MySpace (@philbensen) on Sunday (March 8), discussing work on his first full length album while in Los Angeles. The New Jersey singer songwriter tells readers”

So week 2 in la la land was quite eventful. We laid drums down on all the songs. I must say, they sound really amazing. The album is shaping up to be what I intended it to be. Kenton (myspace.com/kentbryant) just turned 19 and for his birthday, I destroyed him in soccer on Xbox all day haha. So, today I’m finishing lyrics on some songs. Writer’s block sucks! Anyway, I’ll see you guys soon, thanks so much for the support.

Phil Bensen checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@philbensen) on Wednesday (February 18), talking about his trek from New Jersey to Los Angeles to begin work on his debut album. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Well I’m heading to LA tomorrow to record my first full length album. I’m very pumped. I’ll be working with a producer named Matt Wallace. He produced Maroon 5′s ‘Songs About Jane’, so I’m in good hands. You can expect new songs and new versions of old songs like bruised. I’m going to stay true to what I love doing. The album will be sort of a mix between funky stuff like Maroon 5 and more acoustic John Mayer/Jack Johnson sort of stuff. Wish me luck, I’ll need it. Thanks so much for everyone’s support. See you on the flip side (only cool people say stuff like “see you on the flip side”).

Phil Bensen checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@philbensen) on Friday (January 23), talking about busy plans for the new year. The New Jersey singer songwriter tells readers:

Hello fellow MySpace friends,
Well I haven’t written a blog in a while, so I thought I’d ramble about my plans for 2009. This year will involve a lot of touring all over the country. I’m very pumped about it. I’ll also be doing a full length album in Cali. The album’s start time is scheduled for March, and it should be done halfway through April. So, I hope to see your lovely faces in the coming months. Holla
