Setting the vibe with dynamic and divergent synths, with the sound of water ripples infused into the sonic landscape, Ben Alexander opens his latest single, Run Away, with the lyrics, “There’s a girl who claims she’s queen, ruling over the unseen, in her kingdom made of lies, simple pleasures for simple minds…”
As the song expands, we experience the hook, which invites us to Run Away from toxicity and to “find the place where we will be okay…”. The instrumental segments of the song are enthralling and dynamic, with exceptional synth work which flows cohesively into Ben’s atmospheric vocals.
Run Away is a catchy and rhythmic electronic pop song which is inspired by Tame Impala, Royksopp and Rufus du Sol, but it is clear that Ben Alexander is creating a frequency of his own.
Ben is becoming known for his experimental style that transcends the traditional boundaries of electronic music. Growing up in various countries and diverse environments, he acquired a deep fascination for multicultural rhythms, electronic and cinematic music, which is something he reflects in his songs.
Over the years, Ben has incorporated a string of collaborations with Norwegian and international artists and is actively in pursuit of the delicate point where genuine music innovation meets catchy hitmaking.
We love Ben Alexander‘s conceptual and empowering, lyricism and the high concept universe he is creating with his artistry. Run Away has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist and we continue to stream Ben’s wider discography including Shadowlands and Somni.
