Benson Boone<\/strong>\u00a0released his debut album, Fireworks & Roller Blades<\/em>, last April,\u00a0and he’s got another album almost ready to go.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Rolling Stone<\/em> for a cover story<\/a>, Benson says the album is tentatively titled American Heart<\/em> and\u00a0will be out in the spring or summer. With it, he hopes to banish thoughts of “Beautiful Things” from people’s minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m getting to the point where I just want people to know that there\u2019s more than just that song,\u201d he\u00a0 says of the hit, which was literally the biggest song in the world<\/a> in 2024. “I think I\u2019m a little past that point.”<\/p>\n

However, he’s quick to note, “Of course I still love the song. I\u2019m still proud of it. And I\u2019ll be performing it for a while, so I hope that feeling sticks around.\u201d<\/p>\n

New song titles include “Mr. Electric Blue” \u2014 about his dad \u2014 and “Young American Heart,” “The Man in Me,” “Mystical Magical” and “I Wanna Be the One You Call.” As for what the music sounds like, Benson tells Rolling Stone,<\/em> \u201cA lot of it is very Bruce Springsteen<\/strong>, Americana, like a little more of a retro vibe.\u201d\u00a0 He adds, “I\u2019ve never believed so much in a body of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Springsteen influence isn’t unusual given that Benson says he and his four sisters used to clean the kitchen every night while listening to a playlist that included Bruce, as well as Stevie Wonder<\/strong>, Michael Jackson<\/strong> and Queen<\/strong>. But he also\u00a0says he absolutely loved One Direction<\/strong> and Justin Bieber<\/strong>, though he wasn’t proud of it.<\/p>\n

“I was too embarrassed to admit it to my friends,” he says. \u201dI was probably a bigger fan of them than any of my sisters.”<\/p>\n
