On June 9th, 2023, indie pop songwriter and musician Michael Benjamin has released his debut album "The World Is Still Beautiful". Through his guitar playing, heartfelt vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes, he invites listeners into his own world and inspires them to lose themselves in the moment.
Over the past five years, Michael Benjamin has released a series of EPs and singles under his former artist name "Native". Songs such as "Ocean" or "Don't Forget Me" have been streamed millions of times and used as soundtracks in TV shows and productions on Netflix. In 2022, it was time for a new chapter and the first step was to change his artist name from Native to his own name - Michael Benjamin. It was also time for his first album production.
Michael is one of those songwriters who are constantly writing and creating new material. In the same year, he decided to produce his first album. He rented a local studio and recorded nearly 20 songs live in just a few days, of which 12 appear on the album.
The result is an album that sounds like Michael Benjamin is playing the songs for the listener alone. It is an intimate production and an invitation into Michael Benjamin's world, where he shares his newly discovered love and passion for music.
"The World Is Still Beautiful" is a reminder to see and appreciate the beauty in simple and ordinary things. And soon everyone can be a part of it. "The World Is Still Beautiful" is available digitally and as an exclusive vinyl edition.
An intimate sounding album for the living room, for fans of Ben Howard, Bon Iver, and Phoebe Bridgers.
