One of the most exciting new songwriters coming out of Scandinavia right now is 2018 Eurovision winner Benjamin Ingrosso. Earlier this year he may have just released the single of the summer titled 'Look Who's Laughing now'.
The track is direct and immediate, leading with funky grooves and a no-nonsense stomping sound. The sharp strings that open the song instantly grab your attention and set the tone for a dramatic performance, and what follows doesn't disappoint.
There's an unrelenting rolling rhythm that is complimented by Benjamin's theatrical vocals dance with a powerful command. Every line has an irresistible melodic flow that makes you want to singalong and the pounding drum rhythm has a dance inducing energy. There's elements of Modern Pop but with a dramatic, Queen esc theatre that makes the song so exciting.
He has now followed this up with an equally infectious Pop Rock hit 'All My Life'. The crisp Indie guitar riff serves multiple uses, providing a super catchy melodic backdrop and also giving the sound a bit more bite than some of his past work. The smooth backing harmonies ring of MIKA with a playful drama to them. The chorus then dives deep into a Pop aesthetic as big instrumental stabs provide the backing for an expansive, soaring vocal performance built to be a Radio hit.
Benjamin's music is just so full of flavour that you can't help but want to dance!
