We had the pleasure of interviewing Ben Abraham over Zoom video! award-winning singer-songwriter Ben Abraham recently released his sophomore album Friendly Fire (which has already done almost 10 million streams!) The album is a really beautiful + deeply personal body of work that highlights Ben's almost decade-long odyssey navigating both his sexuality + spirituality following the release of his debut album Sirens. Another Falling Star is based on a conversation Ben had with Kesha about "getting high in Hollywood" and about the countless artists who move to LA with high hopes + big dreams. (The two also co-wrote her double-Platinum, Grammy-nominated smash single "Praying" together). As for the inspiration behind the album -- following the release of Sirens, while engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Ben became romantically involved with another man – ending the relationship and resulting in a huge crisis of faith for him as a devout Christian. He detailed this in a powerful note to fans last month. Sirens was met with critical acclaim upon its release in 2014, including from the New York Times who heralded it as "a debut of remarkable depth." The record catalyzed his career as an in-demand songwriter for artists like The Chicks, Gallant, Ben Platt & Demi Lovato. We want to hear from you!
