Grammy-nominated pop star Benson Boone released his sophomore studio album “American Heart” on June 20th via Night Street and Warner Records.

The album opens with the upbeat, unapologetic, and fun “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” which instantly lures fans in this collection, and it immediately breaks into the mid-tempo “Mr Electric Blue” and “Man in Me,” both of which are quite the earworms.

“Mystical Magical” is a vivacious, radio-friendly single, while “Reminds Me of You” is a more pensive and nostalgic tune. 

Boone will certainly melt hearts with the resonant piano-laden ballad “Momma Song,’ which will move his listeners on an emotional level as he belts out the high notes.

Boone subsequently picks up the pace with the up-tempo “I Wanna Be the One You Call.”

After the nonchalant “Wanted Man,” it closes with the stirring ballad “Take Me Home” and on a fitting note with the youthful and liberating “Young American Heart,” where he leaves his fans and listeners wanting to hear more.

“American Heart” is available on digital service providers by clicking here.

On Friday, September 5th, Boone will be headlining New York’s Madison Square Garden as part of his “American Heart World Tour.”
