Like many musicians, Ben Lorentzen's journey began with ambition and an obsession with music. From Norway to New York, his career has intensified with a force as strong as his talents. His awesome songwriting abilities have caught the eye (or rather ear) of several artists that have performed his tunes. Musician, singer and artist, Ben Lorentzen is the real deal, much like his influences--Cave, Dylan, Cash, Drake and Cornell.
Haunting and contemplative; beautiful and melancholic, Ben Lorentzen's music is genuine, and heartfelt. Lornenzten calls his music "Pop noir" and his voice and songs paint a picture of the human condition that certain souls know...the heights and depths where emotion can be at its most visceral and overwhelming. His depiction of life is both personal and universal. Pop can mean a lot of things, but Lorentzen's pop is poignant and earnest, soulful and yes, a little dark. That said, his style is captivating in a way that a lot of dark artists' aren’t.
