Goldsmith is mad with the feeling of new love on his latest release, speaking on the track he said: “I always wanted to write a show opener – something that started out with choirs and pianos and orchestration, and then completely switch up the tempo, turn it into a completely different song. I gave Peter Fenn this idea of doing something almost operatic for the first 30 seconds and then we go into a soul song. He was super into it and we just ran with it. That was probably the most fun I’ve ever had writing a song.”

The track joins previously released Love Again, When We Said Goodbye and Wish We Never Met as the latest advance peek into Goldsmith’s sophomore project.

A dynamic performer and prodigious talent, the Long Island, NY-hailing musician developed the new LP with celebrated creators such as Rick Nowels (Lana Del Rey), Alex Hope (Troye Sivan, Alec Benjamin) and Peter Fenn (Deyaz, Lily Fitts) 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.

You can catch Ben Goldsmith live at The Courtyard Theatre, London on Tuesday 17th September. He is also touring with Australian trio Sons Of The East in addition to select headline dates across the US. Tour dates and ticket information is available at BenGoldsmith.net.
