Sweetbreads Shares New Single ‘Ben’

New York City, Sweetbreads, the project of NYC-based singer and songwriter Melody Stolpp, has just shared her brand new single Ben, an upbeat indie-folk/rock song. 

 

This gem transforms a painful chapter from Sweetbread’s early twenties into a tongue-in-cheek indie-folk anthem. Inspired by an on-again, off-again affair, the song immortalizes every vivid detail—from impulsive haircuts to chain-smoking cigarettes. A brilliantly honest track about the frustrating, lingering obsession of a love that refuses to leave even when you desperately want it to. A relatable storytelling that is beautifully conveyed through Sweetbreads' rich, confident vocals which glide effortlessly over an infectious production that features intricate guitar riffs, steady drum beats and rich textures that come together to create an overall warm, upbeat listening experience.

Speaking about the song, Sweetbreads said,

It's my one and only unrequited love song. Looking back, it feels like a sweet little time capsule for a very rough year. Now I see it as a tribute to my younger self and to all the naive hearts who find themselves in complicated situationships.
