Song review: Benson Boone - Beautiful Things

Benson Boone’s single “Beautiful Things” has been making waves since its release. The song hit No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and has been praised for its tender guitar and lyrics that encourage listeners to sing along1. Boone’s voice is described as having a unique quality that some may mistake for a foreign accent, and the track features drums that come in at just the right time, fueling a sense of young adult angst.

The song’s positive content reflects Boone’s personal struggles and his journey to finding peace and contentment. He shares his closeness with his family, his enjoyment of life, and his love for a girl his parents adore. However, he also expresses a fear that God could take away all the beautiful things in his life.

“Beautiful Things” is part of Boone’s debut album ‘Fireworks and Rollerblades,’ which doubles down on the anthemic sound and cathartic narrative of this breakout hit. The album has topped charts in multiple countries and has amassed nearly half a billion streams on Spotify alone.

The song and the album showcase Boone’s talent for penning raw lyrics with memorable hooks and thrashing piano riffs, a style that has resonated with fans worldwide
