Taste Test: Benedict Cork heals from heartbreak with ‘Funny How Things Change’
Soul-pop upstart attempts to recover from his first heartbreak with a new power ballad.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
The first heartbreak can be the toughest to swallow. Emotional trauma shreds through our body, our mind seemingly extricated from self, if even for a moment, and so, we must navigate the smoking remnants alone. Undergoing his first broken heart, soul-pop mover Benedict Cork sorrowfully wanders the halls from rose-tinted romance to skin-clawing self-destruction. His tears fall like diamonds on hardwood and scatter across stunning ivory work and a guitar’s soft cry with “Funny How Things Change.” Employing both his chest voice and a velvety falsetto, opening the tear ducts full-throttle, Cork floats upon the melody with a haunted futility. “Tell me where did our love go,” he sings, once again exposing the raw emotions to the sunlight. “You were mine / Now, I don’t know,” he later howls on his most evocative performance to-date.
“Funny How Things Change” is the latest in a string of singles, following “Therapy” and “Fear of Lonely.”
