Taste Test: BENN prunes away weeds with anthemic ‘Who Am I to Say (08:50)’
BENN’s new song samples a debut EP.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
BENN feels strangled in a relationship. He gasps for breath, with no sign of relief. Instead of floundering, he quickly severs away the weed wrapped around his throat. That’s certainly the emotional core of his new song “Who Am I to Say (08:50),” off his debut EP Sweet Spot, in which he exorcises his demons and learns to fly free again. “What if you’re body’s holding me just because you think that you know me / And what if I only need you ’cause I just need a pair of hands to hold me?” he considers. His words tumble from his lips like knives, and even though he may not have the answers right now, he will soon enough. That’s just the way of things when you reclaim your life.
