Ben Montague is releasing his brand new album 'Back Into Paradise' later this year, and Female First were lucky enough to be able to hear four tracks lifted straight from that record, including the title track and lead single itself.
'Back Into Paradise' is an uplifting and anthemic tune that, in Ben's own words "defined the direction" in which the entire LP would take. Building up to the huge chorus it's an impressive track and if the rest of the songs on the record are half as catchy as this one, Ben should be onto a winner.
Passionate and driven to succeed, Ben's not your typical popstar who's simply in this for the money and fame. He's working hard to carve out his own way in this industry and that comes through in spades throughout the first few moments of this opening track.
'We Start Over' follows, a slower tune that empowers the listener to go out and there and grab whatever it is they're searching for. It's an inspirational piece from a man whose vocals go from great to even better. They're easy on the ear, soothing to listen to and above all else, unique.
That's something that only continues as 'Runaway' kicks off, a four minute song that may not be as catchy as those before it, but certainly delivers in more ways than one.
Our sample finishes with 'Gonna Love Again', as Ben's tone takes on a more gravelly side that doesn't expose flaws as it would for many others, but instead adds another layer to this incredible artist.
If I have to make one clear compact statement about this album so far, it's that it's an instantly impressive one. I can't wait to hear the complete collection.
'Back Into Paradise' is officially released on June 15 through Absolute via Universal.
