American Heart
Benson Boone (2025)
“American Heart is a strong, heartfelt sophomore release from Benson Boone that showcases his powerhouse vocals and emotional depth. From the soaring chorus of “Beautiful Things” to the stripped-down vulnerability in “Slow It Down,” Boone proves he’s not just a TikTok sensation—he’s a true artist with something real to say. The production is polished but never overdone, letting his voice and lyrics take center stage. There’s a genuine sincerity in every track that makes the album easy to connect with, whether he’s singing about love, heartbreak, or self-discovery. It’s not a perfect album—some moments feel a bit safe—but the emotional impact and vocal delivery more than make up for it. American Heart is a promising and powerful start, and Benson Boone’s future looks bright. Solid four stars.”

Worst one I’ve listened to at full

Benson's got the singing and backflipping chops, but not so much the songwriting chops yet.
pitchfork
Benson Boone’s flair can’t make up for the fact that his songs aren’t very good and that he lacks a unique point of view.

Some fun production choices can’t rescue the songwriting
