“Ben Drysdale’s latest release, “Listen Now” makes the listeners feel the weight of experiences but also proving the warmth of togetherness in all of this.”

Ben Drysdale’s recent single, “Listen Now” was inspired by a call from a friend who was drunk in both whiskey and despair, and the need for empathy that ensued within him. He listened to the friend and realized that the negative thoughts were common between the both of them. This song is the voice of plea for all those who are suffering with mental health challenges reminding them that they are not alone. The song features Ben’s soothing vocals, intricate strumming patterns, and mellow tones of guitar offering a sense of calm and reassurance, mirroring perfectly the supportive conversation that inspired this song.
