Description

Bona fide pop star Benson Boone reaction video. In this reaction video, I listen to him for the first time.

After his massive single "Beautiful Things" last year, Benson Boone has become one of the biggest recording artists in music today. Though reviews are mixed his latest album 'American Heart' is topping charts worldwide. What makes him so globally connecting?

Plug in and we'll listen through the whole album start to finish, talk about why listening contexts matter, Boone's vocal performance chops, how he resembles Jaime Jaquez Jr. from the Miami Heat, his Pacific Northwestness, the power of nouns in songwriting, his similarity to David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel, his mixing and production team including Malay, Evan Blair, Dale Becker, and Alex and Serban Ghenea, and also his abs and mustache.
