REVIEW: Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Shine incl Kygo remix & music video out on Polydor / Universal Music

A playful sound line sets in and a few seconds later we are already traveling. The soft vocals of singer songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich develop their magical effects and give us three and a half minutes of pure joy of life. With every sung syllable we dive more into a very summery and positive sound-sphere. Melodic acoustic guitar sounds and chosen wisely beats create a lively rhythm, one can hardly escape. 

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - a name it applies to memorize. At the age of 15, he began writing his own songs and now, a mere 6 years later, the result can be more than see. With his voice he reaches the people, you might almost think he hypnotized them miraculously. You think other places visited other countries and is consistently full of positive energy. 

Rounding out this wonderful song with the remix version of the Norwegian DJ and producer Kygo. Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, better known by his stage name Kygo, already formed remixes for the likes of Avicii and Coldplay. We can look forward to a song - which is us sweeten the late summer tidy. 





Dimitri Kechagias review: The eclectic sounds continue to invade the mainstream world with latest artist to enter the mainstream psyche Benjamin Francis Leftwich from York UK. The extremely talented song writer and singer influenced from folk music, country and rhythm n blues delivers his magnificent highly eclectic sing a long anthem Shine. Beautiful honest, pure unpretentious song that calm and sooths your senses and most importantly narrate you a story that invite you to believe for a while and let yourself go with the magical flow of it. Guitars and organic live instruments radiate warmth, tenderness, romanticism and friendship to the world that seems to be on the verge of nerve crisis. Kygo is on remix duties and he transforms the original into an emotional deep house meets electronic with heavy doses of  folk music track that starts with nice melodic intro with organic elements and the great inspirational vocal as well.  Deep house laid back grooves, guitar riffs and warm sensitive synthy hooks combined in perfection to conquer the deep house floors by storm and the mainstream charts as well. So glad that such a talented artists finally is getting the recognition he deserves so better don't miss his live performances! #PureGold Love iT
