WHAT IT IS: From his unflinchingly honest lyrics to his hand-drawn artwork, 20-year-old Benson Boone likes to keep it authentic, and that’s evident in his major-label debut single, “GHOST TOWN.” The poignant ballad, enlivened by drums, guitar and piano all played by Boone, showcase the budding singer/songwriter’s soaring vocals and emotive delivery. Right out of the gate, the single appeared on coveted playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday, Today’s Top Hits and Pop Rising as well as Apple Music’s Today’s Hits. While “GHOST TOWN” served as an enticing introduction to the up-and-comer, it’s just the beginning for Boone, whose follow-up single, “ROOM FOR 2,” is just around the corner.
