LIKE millions of songs that have come before, it is the end of a relationship that forms the crux of Benjamin Yellowitz’ latest single ‘Erase You’. However, instead of choosing to rehash old cliches and familiar themes of love, loss and heartbreak, the London singer-songwriter explores the process of regrowth and evolution that follows such an experience – turning the classic breakup song on its head in order to unleash the fire from within.
Written from a place of renewed personal strength, the track oozes fiery resilience and gritty soulfulness. Darker than previous offerings from the singer, Yellowitz’ gruff tones are accompanied by atmospheric guitars, bass, keys and percussion. The sum of his many eclectic influences, the subtle clicks, tones and funky rhythms throughout indicate a masterful grasp of his craft.
Yellowitz has now revealed an appropriately mysterious video to accompany the single which sees shadowy figures move along to the track. Check it out below.
