The Defamation of Strickland Banks is the second studio album from English singer and rapper Plan B. It was released on 12 April 2010 by 679 Recordings. The album is a departure from the sound heard on Plan B's debut album Who Needs Actions When You Got Words, providing a showcase for the rapper's singing.[1] A concept album, it narrates the fictitious tale of Strickland Banks, a sharp-suited British soul singer who finds fame with bitter-sweet love songs like the album's opener "Love Goes Down", only to have it slip through his fingers when sent to prison for a crime he did not commit.[2]
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. It produced the singles "Stay Too Long", "She Said", "Prayin'", "The Recluse", "Love Goes Down", "Writing's on the Wall" and "Hard Times". The album has sold 1.4 million copies in the UK as of May 2018.[3]
