Electronic Pop from Ben-J

Born in France and now based in Lausanne, Switzerland, Ben-J is a singer-songwriter and new artist who sits at the crossroads where the directions of pop, rock and electro meet. After spending time touring Switzerland and France as a singer, he’s now venturing out on a wildly ambitious solo artistic journey.

Unveiling his new endeavour, he brings us his debut single “The Reason”, a song lifted from a stunning new musical opera that’s set to drop later this year, as well as serving as the title track from his upcoming debut EP The Reason. On his EP, the artist uses his music for a personal reflection of his own life, offering a sonic account of his upbringing and the struggles he suffered from a traumatic and life-changing event when he was seventeen.

Commenting on the release, he shares, “Music is my passion. It is in my blood. It is in my soul. This release represents part of me, and I feel blessed I am able to share this. I hope it gives strength, hope, and courage to those who listen to it. Remember, everything happens for a reason.”

With “The Reason”, Ben-J delivers the first taste of his beautifully melodic and emotive writing wrapped up in an immersive blend of atmospheric percussive shots, ethereal synth lines and led by his impassioned vocal style.

Covering themes of rebirth, self-acceptance, a yearning for artistic pursuit and the determination to bring his sonic vision to life, on his first single Ben-J lays down an original sound that’s entirely his own, setting the tone for what’s to come with his worthy debut effort.
