Topics music, electronic, production, live-concerts, albums

Ben Böhmer is a man compelled—a composer and producer who constantly seeks to give life to new ideas through his music. He’s now a decade into a career throughout which he has relentlessly focused on honing a craft that allows him to express deep, complex feelings. Ben tackled grief on his breakthrough debut album, Breathing, and separation on its follow-up, 2021’s Begin Again. The success of those records—almost 1 billion streams—and his ability to connect with audiences in a live setting—he played over 200 shows in 2022—propelled him down a track that felt at odds with what he wanted. Despite the accolades and sell out events, he was being pulled in a direction that was not him. His new album BLOOM is a reset, a confident reassertion of his own desires and more improvisational origins. In Bloom, we hear and feel Ben’s growth, the joyful pursuit of newness that obsessively pulls him back to the studio day after day, season after season.
