19-year-old Benson Boone makes an auspicious debut today with a stunning single called \u201cGHOST TOWN.\u201d A poignant ballad with unflinchingly honest lyrics and soaring vocals, this is the calling card of a major new talent. \u201cMaybe you\u2019d be happier with someone else, maybe lovin\u2019 me is the reason you can\u2019t love yourself,\u201d he sings over melancholy keys. \u201cBefore I turn your heart into a ghost town, show me everything we built so I can tear it all down.\u201d Get it HERE via Night Street/Warner Records and watch the video HERE.

Benson penned \u201cGHOST TOWN\u201d based off emotions that were pulled from observing a friend\u2019s toxic relationship and realizing development in his own emotional maturity. \u201cI saw that from an outside perspective and wondered what they could have done differently,\u201d the newcomer from Monroe, Washington explains. \u201cLove can hurt more than it can help. Sometimes the best way of showing someone you care is by letting them go.\u201d
Incredibly, the teenager was completely unaware of his prodigious talent until asked to join a band for his school talent show. Boone wowed everyone in the audience including himself and suddenly found his purpose. An audition for American Idol followed, but he withdrew despite being lavished with praise from judges. \u201cIt was a very hard choice,\u201d Boone admits. \u201cI didn't want to show the world someone I'm not.\u201d

That desire for authenticity fuels every aspect of Boone\u2019s artistry. From the hand-drawn \u201cGHOST TOWN\u201d cover to the black-and-white music video, which was filmed in his hometown with a little help from his real-life friends, the singer/songwriter doesn\u2019t want there to be any buffer between him and the listener. Signed and mentored by Imagine Dragons lead singer and founder of Night Street Records Dan Reynolds, Boone promises to be one of the breakout artists of 2021.
