The new Benjamin Francis Leftwich album, ‘Some Things Break’ is out now via Dirty Hit. A new single from the album ‘a love Like That’ is also out now.
Some Things Break was written over the course of the past two years at locations across the globe including London, Nashville, Washington and Stockholm. It was produced by Grammy Award winning producer Jimmy Hogarth, who has produced for the likes of Amy Winehouse, Sia and Antony and The Johnsons. Some Things Break also features collaborations with fellow songwriters Mikky Ekko, Jamie Squire from The 1975 and Jon Green. The album was mixed by Jonathan Gilmore and mastered by Robin Schmidt.
As well as a broader range in Benjamin’s voice, Some Things Break features a richer instrumentation compared to the more stripped-back sound of his earlier work. His unmistakable acoustic guitar remains present throughout but is at times backed with the sound of pianos, choirs, subtle drum beats and effects that help create a dense and layered soundscape for his candid and vulnerable lyrics.
Aside from his own material, Benjamin’s songwriting, co-writing and collaboration with other writers and artists has grown and evolved hugely over recent years, having written with the likes of The 1975, Nick Mulvey, Jasmine Jethwa, Holly Humberstone, Rachel Chinouriri and CMAT.
