An immaculate meeting point between indie, pop, and electronica, “Hiding” is flooded with Ben’s lush pads and triumphant melodies, while Lykke Li’s iconic vocals wash over crisp breakbeats. “It’s a song that I’ve always wanted to write” Ben remarks on the new release. The single continues to forge Ben’s path beyond the pre-fabricated boxes that he’s been put into as an artist, earning the trust of indie royalty such as Lykke Li. A rare feature, “Hiding” is her first original collaboration since 2019.
Throughout her 20+-year career, Li has worked with artists such as Drake, U2, Skrillex, and Mark Ronson, who once called her the “high priestess of heartbreak and sadness.” She’s earned multiple Grammis in Sweden and is among the most heralded names in indie pop by the most trusted names in music, such as Billboard, Pitchfork, NME, and The Guardian. Her music has soundtracked films, including Twilight; she has also acted in the crime thriller Tommy and Terrence Malick’s Song to Song.

Following the massive success of his previous records, which notched nearly 1 billion streams, Ben found himself being pulled in a direction that wasn’t him. Life on the road took him away from the things that mattered most to him (200+ shows in 2022). Bloom is a reset, a confident reassertion of his own desires and more improvisational origins. Ben’s composing and songwriting talents extend to the foreground alongside Lykke Li, Oh Wonder, Enfant Sauvage (of the French duo The Blaze), JONAH (who was featured on the previous single “Best Life”), and more.
