The music world has been gifted with the latest single from the acclaimed artist and producer Ben Böhmer. Titled ‘Faithless‘ and featuring the talented Erin LeCount, this track marks a significant departure from Ben’s signature sound, signaling a new direction on his upcoming album, Bloom. With nearly a billion streams under his belt, he has solidified his act as a core number of Melodic Techno. However, his true passion lies in composing and songwriting, a fact that shines through in this latest collaboration.
‘Faithless’ showcases Ben Böhmer’s willingness to explore new musical territories, blending Indie and Pop elements seamlessly into his production. Erin LeCount’s captivating vocals add an ethereal quality to the track, elevating it to new heights. As the music industry eagerly anticipates the release of Bloom on September 27 via Ninja Tune, ‘Faithless’ serves as a tantalizing preview of what’s to come.
Erin LeCount recalls the moment she listened for the first time to what would become ‘Faithless’, saying “[It] really came together in a case of divine timing – I was in the right place at the right time when I heard the instrumental, and Ben’s production is such a beautiful soundscape that it was so natural to write for. I wrote the lyrics about a cycle of self-sabotage in wanting to love someone and then leaving the minute things get good – reminiscing and regretting it every time but being unable to stay anywhere too long“.
