Over the last few years, Los Angeles-based artist Ben Scott has made an impact in the modern music landscape, blending cinematic flair with indie rock stylings to craft a sound that’s at once enjoyable and personal. With a background in filmmaking and a passion for storytelling through music, he’s emerged as a creative figure with a knack for exploring vulnerability, nostalgia and bold sonic expression.
Ben’s first musical steps saw him cutting his teeth by performing in small local venues through a music school program before graduating to the larger stages of touring. Over time, he’s played alongside the likes of Jon Anderson of Yes, Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner and Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers, an impressive roster that hints at the musical ambition and talent he brings to the table.
In 2021, he shared his studio sound for the first time via his debut single “Remember This Feeling,” a heartfelt ballad about unrequited love that introduced his ability to pair emotional weight with memorable melodic writing. The following year, he followed up with “Summer Song,” and by 2023, his breakout moment came with “The Bug Collector,” a track that struck a chord on a massive scale, clocking over five million Spotify spins.
With another prolific year in 2024 which saw him release more singles and his debut EP, Wilting Flowers, Ben Scott now brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Green Love,” an instantly catchy new song that jumps headfirst into the rush of romance and creative pursuit. Drawing sonic inspiration from the soul and showmanship of Michael Jackson, the genre-breaking output of Prince and the grooving rhythms of Earth, Wind & Fire, it’s a radiant track that bursts with warmth and intention.
Kicked off by the uptempo rustle of drums, the arrangement hops with funky guitar flickers and bright brass tones as Ben’s smooth vocals enter to spin infectious hooks into the colourful musical fabric, featuring a seven-strong group of accomplished musicians. Flowing into a shimmering chorus of soulful vocal leads and vibrant instrumentation, the track serves up a grooving pop jam that’s danceable and intoxicating throughout.
With lush backing vocals and intricate instrumental performance from the lead guitar and slick horn section, “Green Love” sees Ben Scott deliver a dazzling slice of uplifting pop music that’s truly impossible not to love. It’s a stunning showcase of his songwriting talent and performance skill, resulting in a magical musical moment that’s sure to charm listeners around the world. Bringing his music alive on stage, Ben Scott is set to play live at the Viper Room in Los Angeles this Saturday April 12th at 9:30pm.
