At only 22 years old, singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis
Leftwich has already made a name for himself. In a music market that seems currently overrun
in this field, from Bon Iver to Ben Howard, it could be hard to stand out, but
not for this man. Favourited by DJ after
DJ, he has certainly made a name for himself.
Atlas Hands is the magnificent follow-up to Pictures, filled once more with haunting vocals and captivating lyrics. There’s a beauty in his voice that draws you in, and never once gets boring. The song is fuelled by optimism, as he talks about his “plan,” and the “lessons [he has] learnt.” The addition of a female vocalist only adds to and emphasises the softness in his voice, perhaps highlighting his suitability for future duets.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich has shown himself to be one of 2011’s best rising talents, setting himself up for an even better 2012.
