In The Spotlight

Ben Kessler – “Do It Again”

Born in Philadelphia, this versatile singer, songwriter and producer was already dabbling with acoustic music projects in high school, but decided to study English at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Since graduating he’s been on tour with Lizzy McAlpine and amassed over 100 million streams. Inspired by Simon & Garfunkel, Bon Iver and John Mayer, he debuted with “Good Enough” in 2019.

With lyrics steeped in melancholy, singing about a lost relationship with a person that hurt you, but that you’re not ready to let go of, his new single feels relatable. Driven by a rolling rhythm and a refreshing guitar, he’s created a dreamy soundscape to get lost in. And with cleverly layered harmonies and his silky-smooth vocals fluently merging with the tune, this song sounds heavenly.
