Initially coming out of the UK music scene, Benny Fisher plies his trade as a DIY bedroom-based songwriter and music producer with an original sonic vision. Having grown up in Cambridge and London, Fisher has since set his creative compass to Bologna, Italy, where he continues to craft and share his musical endeavours with the world.
With a musical journey that spans multiple well-received singles, EPs, and two full-length records, Yeah It’s Nature and Find Another Sky, Benny Fisher showcases a charming sonic output that captures the essence of his unique experiences. His collaborative came to fruition with his single “London Town,” which received a remix from the dub producer The Mad Professor.
Now Benny Fisher brings us his latest release with his new single titled “Lovers Rock,” a song written about a young couple who escape to a tryst called lovers rock in search of privacy and intimacy. With a dazzling display of his originality, “Lovers Rock” serves up a truly unique slice of Benny Fisher’s unique sound.
Blending elements of dream pop, indie rock and tinges of psychedelic vibes, the song pairs grooving rhythm, delicate vocals, picture painting lyricism and colourful instrumentation to craft a truly delightful two and a half minutes of musical bliss. Opened by soft instrumental tones riding over the gentle tap of cymbals and hushed snap of snare, Benny’s airy vocals float beautiful above.
Carrying elegant melodies, fuzzy guitar tones inject subtle vigour as the arrangement swells and dips effortlessly with touches of glock, flute and synth textures. Spacey synth tones and bright pulses collide to create a dynamic and vibrant backdrop for Benny to thread catchy hooks above.
The result is a highly enjoyable, instantly memorable and transportive sound from an artist who continues to go from strength to strength as a talented songwriting and skilled performer. Commenting on the single, he shares, “Once I had the idea of lover’s rock being a place (a hill or a mountain and not a sub-genre of reggae) the song pretty much wrote itself. It is about a young couple with amorous feelings who do not have a place of their own. Maybe they still live with their parents, there’s no room or privacy, so they go to lover’s rock. It is two-and-a-half minutes of indie pop escapism and I had some fun adding flute, glockenspiel, and a squelchy synth sound.”
