Ben Tennyson

Ben Tennyson is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Akron OH who uses a mix of live instruments and MIDI to create a rock-like sound authentic to him. His latest release, “Gypsy Soul” is a perfect example of this sound. With almost every song being unique from the last Ben Tennyson is constantly trying to change the game and his style to create something new that stands out above other artists.

So what’s the meaning behind the melody?

Gypsy Soul is about someone who is always on the move/ drifting with no intention of stopping until they find that place they call home.

“I use to struggle to write upbeat/ happy style stuff and I see this song as a big progression in my ability to write,” says Tennyson.

What do you hope people take away from the song?

Ben: What I hope people take away from this is that it’s a fun travel song really. I think the beat and overall style of the song can appeal to a lot of people and hopefully, it will inspire them to travel to new places and not settle in one spot unless they are happy, not just for comfort. Life’s a one-way street too short not to explore past what you can see.

What is your favorite lyric in the song and what does it mean to you personally?

Ben: My favorite lyric in the song is “Never gonna stop till I find home” I love this line because home is where your heart is so it’s almost like I’m saying I won’t stop until I find love.

What influential song do you love, that you feel is a good benchmark for your song?

Ben: I think songs/artists that inspire my song, especially for this song would be cage the elephant’s early sound especially “Aint no rest for the wicked” - The New Alt

“Gypsy Soul” has been a work in progress for quite some time. “This song had a long process of getting made because I wanted it to be as close to perfect as possible,” explains Tennyson. “It’s my favorite song I ever wrote. I wrote it years ago and it is how I open up every show. We spent at least a year in the studio slowly putting this together and perfecting it.”

Tennyson plans to release new singles monthly for the rest of the year. “Anyone who enjoys Gypsy Soul should stay tuned because there is more to come that will be a mix of upbeat energy-filled songs similar to Gypsy Soul and many other styles and sounds. The goal is to always deliver something unique from one another while creating something I hope people find engaging.” - Breaking Music Magazine

Ohio singer-songwriter Ben Tennyson has just dropped his latest single, “Mr. Right”. The track is an acoustic tinged pop single focusing on the sensual side of lust. “Mr. Right is a song about one night stands and just letting go of anything other than lustful desires,” explains Tennyson, “The idea of being proper and self conscious of how you look and appear get thrown out the window for a night of fun with a stranger.“

The song started out as more of an afterthought, before Tennyson was pushed by his producer to work on it. “Originally going to be nothing more than an extra song I played it for the head of Area 67 recording studio Mike Villages and it was him who saw the big potential in recording this track,” Tennyson explains, “After a couple weeks of recording and editing this is the result a pop style song with a fun beat that is an easy listen and an overall fun song about one night stands!“
