ben lee dedicates his seventh studio recording to venus, the goddess of love and beauty. a bold move for a man, but ben recognizes that the strongest feminine qualities 'such as compassion, nurturing, creativity, spontaneity, intuition, playfulness, tenderness and warmth...are qualities that we all, men and women, need to cultivate.' 'the rebirth of venus' was produced by brad wood, who also produced ben's 'breakout awake is the new sleep' (as well as his critically acclaimed debut 'grandpaw would' and sophomore album 'something to remember me by'). the album's cover re-creates botticelli's birth of venus, but with a rock and roll twist. ben is featured in the clamshell with fianc ione skye and band mates as angels above him. other musicians who appear on the album include missy higgins, cary brothers, patience hodgson of the grates, nic johns, john alagia (producer of ripe) and longtime collaborators and musicians lara meyerratken and nic johns. with 'the rebirth of venus', ben continues to let listeners get to know him while exploring the balance between masculine and feminine nature. one song on the album that exemplifies this quest is 'i'm a woman too.' ben urges that "until we recognize that we are all made up of the same stuff, we are bound to keep hurting each other." 'the rebirth of venus' first single, 'what's so bad (about feeling good),' showcases ben's trademark pop craftsmanship and sense of humour. complete with catchy hooks and sing-along chorus, the song features ben's future stepdaughter on pots and pans as well as backing vocals.
