What Matters Most

Ben Folds

Lush orchestral arrangements meeting sharp-witted piano pop. A mature, cinematic reflection on aging, digital disconnection, and finding what remains when the noise stops.

June 2, 2023 · New West Records

A sophisticated blend of mid-life melancholy and sharp-witted observation wrapped in cinematic arrangements.
