Now this is cool. Ben Hazlewood has come up with a fantastic idea to commemorate two years’ worth of music releases. Breaking away from the conventional method of launching an album, he has chosen to unveil a live performance mixtape instead. This mixtape features shortened versions of the nine tracks released in 2023 and 2024. And thus, offers fans an intimate and dynamic musical experience.
Ben had his first taste of fame as a contestant on the first season of The Voice Australia. Has gone on to remain a relevant music artist. Furthermore, he is a renowned winner of MTV’s ‘The Freshmen’ music video competition. Simply put, Ben owes his artistic longevity to deeply relatable songwriting and his captivating soul-stirring vocals that evoke authentic, heartfelt connections with his listeners. And, although, he has released Live recorded EPs in his illustrious career. A live mixtape is a wonderfully new concept for him to explore.
One where he is keen to address…
“I was adamant we would not compromise on sound, visuals or the integrity of any song or its essence, this was no small feat. I am so grateful to all the insanely talented members of my team that helped bring this vision to life. As an independent artist, I couldn’t be more proud of the Mixtape and what we all conjured from a small yet ambitious concept.”
Furthermore, I am thrilled to premiere “The Live Mixtape” before the official release tomorrow.
Notably, these songs were meticulously crafted by Ben as he journeyed across various countries and continents over the past two years. When expertly woven together into a live mixtape, the resulting seamless fifteen-minute recording brilliantly showcases Ben’s multifaceted artistic abilities. Moreover, it puts a spotlight on his entrancing and magnetic vocal prowess.
Songs such as “Chemical Roulette,” “House of Glass,” and “Last Breath” along with “Shelter” serve as a testament to his remarkable mastery of musical artistry. These spellbinding songs are rich with emotive storytelling, showcasing his ability to captivate listeners with his profound lyricism and soul-stirring melodies. It is evident that the singer-songwriter vibe remains an essential and powerful element in Ben Hazelwood’s continued success.
