About...
Ben Ellis is singer-songwriter known for his indie pop sound and effective storytelling; this is present on latest release ‘Runner Up’ where Ben talks about being second place in love
Lyrics...
Talking about the song Ben says the track is built from his own experiences and tell a story about unreciprocated feelings for someone, becoming ‘Runner UP’ to someone else
Production...
The production is clean utilising guitars percussively reminding me of Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes sounds
The arrangement consistently builds to the climax where the track is anthemic and euphoric
Summary...
This is a great track with quality song writing and studio quality production. Paired with his clever marketing on Tik Tok Bens ascent into becoming a household musician is definitely well under way
