Interview with Ben Barnes

Bringin' it Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ben Barnes over Zoom video!
BARNES celebrated his 40th birthday in a big way by giving his fans the one gift that they’ve been waiting years… His debut EP is finally out!
After years of being directed, written for and edited in movies and television, this is his moment to shine the light on the five songs on Songs For You, lovingly crafted at his piano at home and presented unedited and straight from the heart.
“11:11” is a track that could not be contained to one genre. The soul-pop vocal soars over a jazzy piano, sacred-feeling organ, Queen-inspired guitars and a bursting “Penny Lane” piccolo trumpet fanfare.
With the ‘70s-style, rich, entirely organic instrumentation of all the tracks on Songs For You—produced by John Alagia (Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Herbie Hancock) and Jesse Siebenberg (Ke$ha, Miranda Lambert, Neil Young, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald)—BARNES is baring his soul through his music for the first time; hopeful, joyful, passionate, nostalgic, vulnerable and loving.
For the past months, since before the pandemic started, BARNES has been filming himself in his Los Angeles home at his piano performing his favorite songs, including a stirring rendition of the Friends theme in honor of the HBO Max reunion special, which has prompted his 2.5 million social media followers to wonder and plead when he’s finally releasing music of his own.
