With an ear for dark, mysterious pop, we couldn’t NOT feature Benjamin Yellowitz as our UK Artist of the Week. His single “Ash Wednesday” took us completely by surprise, and listening to it for the first time we couldn’t tell whether we were about to get a face full of metal, religious folk, or a full-blown R&B choral breakdown.
To put it bluntly, the man has found his sound and it is impressive. Not content to sit back once the writing and singing is done, Benjamin also has quite the flare as a producer with some sneaky little clicks and chirrups hidden throughout the track that, if it were possible, make your ears do a double take.
You can look forward to an EP and if you’re in Europe, a host of live shows when he heads out on tour. Remember the name, because you’ll be seeing it everywhere soon.
“Ash Wednesday” is out now via BYz Records.
