At the time Benjamin was taking influences from songs such as "Billie Jean", "Hallelujah",[5] "Just the Two of Us", and "Summertime", and was already playing his own compositions like "Just know that I knew",[6][7] "On the Ground", "Work Another Day", and "Ma muse mon égérie".

His time on the show began at the Paris casting on 27 February 2008, where Philippe Manœuvre called him a "rough diamond" (French: diamant brut) after he performed a cover of "Just the Two of Us"[10] by Bill Withers and was unanimously supported.

However, a jury strongly believing in him along with a public voting greatly in his favor helped to elect him each week by a large majority for his 19 performances.

The album, distributed by Believe Digital and produced by Derrière les planches / Temps d'Eté, is only available for purchase in online music stores[19] and for streaming on Deezer.

[20] The EP contains five songs recorded live at the Café de la danse in Paris on 11 April 2009 and mixed by Olivier Lude.

Siksou sang two of the songs in the album: a solo "I Fall in Love Too Easily" and a duo "Lullaby of Birdland" with China Moses.
