Sad Summer
Debut Album · 2026
After years of turning personal experiences into music, Ben arrives with Sad Summer, a debut album shaped by change, uncertainty, and the moments that define who we become. Written during a period of transition, the project captures the highs and lows of growing up, balancing feelings of heartbreak, loneliness, hope, and ambition against a backdrop of atmospheric pop production.
Throughout the album, Ben reflects on relationships that faded, dreams that felt out of reach, and the search for a place to belong. Whether confronting loss or embracing new beginnings, Sad Summer finds beauty in vulnerability, transforming deeply personal stories into songs that feel both intimate and universal.
At its core, Sad Summer is about learning to move forward. It’s an album that embraces the bittersweet reality that not every ending is a tragedy—sometimes it’s the start of something new. With its honest songwriting and emotional depth, Ben’s debut introduces a distinctive voice unafraid to tell the truth, even when it hurts.

Special Thanks
I would love to thank everyone apart of this project, even as a young artist I definitely have a lot to learn as a 17 year old boy. This project shows my feelings on life, growing up and realising stuff are not handed on a silver platter. Thank you to Ava Bailey my close friend, Macey Smith my old partner in my group and best friends and RCA Records. Lastly, my fans I know I am a small artist and I have a lot to learn but thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love ben x
