Speaking on the latest release, Goldsmith said: “I always wanted a song people could go crazy to at a festival or in a mosh pit, that’s what this song feels like. I stumbled upon the phrase ‘I want you and I wish we never met’ just by scatting with Joseph Patton. We ran with the theme of heartache and desperation. It’s a theme anyone can identify with and I’m very proud of the song.” The track joins previously released Love Again and When We Said Goodbye as the advance peek into Goldsmith’s sophomore project.

A dynamic performer and prodigious talent, Goldsmith developed the new LP with celebrated creators such as Semisonic frontmen Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift, Adele), Rick Nowels (Lana Del Rey), and Alex Hope (Troye Sivan, Alec Benjamin) to name a few. Spanning heartbreak rockers, coming-of-age anthems, first love swooners, and more, The Start Of Something Beautiful highlights Goldsmith’s once-in-a-generation musicianship and songwriting as the 18-year-old has writing credits on every track and produced nearly half the record. Highlighted as a noteworthy emerging artist by The Hollywood Reporter, the multi-instrumentalist also plays guitar, piano, lap steel, organ, mellotron, and bass throughout the project.

Fans can catch Goldsmith in London at The Courtyard Theatre, London on Tuesday 17th September. He will also be touring with Australian trio Sons Of The East in addition to select headline dates across the US.

Having released his debut album, The World Between My Ears, in 2023 – before he even graduated high school – Ben’s prodigious talent has taken him from his Long Island hometown to cross-country touring and collaborating with some of the most influential names in music. In Nashville, Ben is working with the likes of Jon Green (James Bay, Kane Brown), Natalie Hemby (Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves), Alex Hope (Troye Sivan), Laura Veltz (Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce), and more. He has also been making consistent trips to Los Angeles, spending considerable time with icons such as Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift, Jon Batiste, Adele), Leroy Clampitt (Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter), Rick Nowels (Stevie Nicks, Celine Dion), Sean Douglas (Lizzo, Madonna), and Casey Smith (Dove Cameron), to name a few!
