Young Hearts

Released in 2023, Young Hearts represents a significant step in Benny Sings' career, largely due to his collaboration with producer Kenny Beats. While Benny has always operated in the realm of breezy, soulful pop, this album tightens the screws on his songwriting and production. The influence of Kenny Beats is felt in the punchier drum programming and the overall clarity of the mix, which elevates Benny's signature 70s-inspired 'yacht soul' to a more contemporary standard. The album features a notable guest appearance from Remi Wolf on the title track, signaling Benny's growing influence in the global indie-pop scene. Critics noted the album's brevity - ten tracks in under 30 minutes - as a strength, praising its 'all killer, no filler' approach to songwriting. It stands as one of his most cohesive works, successfully bridging the gap between lo-fi hip-hop sensibilities and the sophisticated arrangements of the Great American Songbook and 70s AOR.
