Promising Swiss Artist Steps Into a New Start with “It’s Okay” Single
THE ARTIST
Formerly known as Native, this Swiss Artist shares his new single “It’s Okay” as he begins his new journey as Michael Benjamin. The song will be featured on his upcoming album “The World is Still Beautiful.” Finding success through his previous releases such as “Ocean,” which has amassed over 20 million streams/views across all platforms, Benjamin is someone to watch. Deeply expressing his emotion through his lyrics, alongside a vast array of tones and rhythm, this singer-songwriter has the potential to carve a lane of his own.
THE MUSIC
The record begins with a beautiful set of chords, backed by tonal bliss. Theres almost this instant feeling of euphoria, a sort of happy sadness.
THE LYRICS
He opens the record with:
“I’ve built a house of glass
You see everything
If you come knocking
I know I'll let you in”
What comes across is someone who is present, aware, and going through self reflection. A calming voice sets the stage for what’s to come. As the second half of the record approaches, a build up ensues, a signature of Michael’s sound.Soft percussion, light drums, and additional guitars paint the picture.
By the time the chorus arrives, Benjamin brings his realization directly to the lap of the listener:
“They say it is silly song but I don't care
They say that I'm a foolish man and I don't care
Maybe it's the price you pay to be free
And it's okay
It's okay”
Inspiring listeners through expression and assurance to be themselves, “It’s Okay” is a song that is relatable for many. If this is a preview of what Benjamin will share next, we are eagerly looking forward to The World Is Still Beautiful.
