One of the stand-out songs from his recent EP ‘Blue’, the track was also the very first written for the record. Laced with Brown’s trademark lyrical quips and sweetened with his honey-like falsetto, “Let Go” is a perfect pop song that deals with themes of relief and release, escaping reality and the feelings of freedom that can follow.
As Ben explains of writing the track:
“The melody came to mind as I was walking along the Stour Estuary one evening in the rain. I think it’s about that feeling of letting go and seeing what happens. Sometimes we can over scrutinise situations that we have little control over – be it relationships, goals or whatever. If you take away some of this pressure and step back, you can better understand and enjoy… yourself!”
The track follows recent singles ‘Kathmandu’ and EP title-track ‘Blue’, with all tracks on the EP produced by Ben’s friend and mentor Frank Turner. The EP is out now on Xtra Mile Recordings.
Following tours around the UK with Frank Turner and The Meffs, earlier this year Ben Brown will now be hitting the road with labelmates Skinny Lister, as he joins the band for their extensive UK tour. Catch Ben supporting the Skinnies, at these upcoming shows:
