What You Believe
Release Date: April 8, 2022
The third album from Benny Bassett is perhaps his most personal. From first lyric to last note, Benny wrote, performed, engineered and produced this work. As he says: “I have always prided myself on creating albums that have cohesive messaging and vision, but distinct sonic variety, and for the first time, I can honestly say that every note and lyric are 100% mine.” This EP features the lead single “Same Mistake” and the song which also produced the first music video “Can’t We Just”.
