This summer saw Leftwich release the EP I Am With You, which ushered in a new sonic era for the singer/songwriter. His third record will also follow the acclaimed studio albums Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm and After The Rain, released in 2011 and 2016 respectively.
Gratitude builds on the foundations laid in the EP, and sees Leftwich bring more electronic elements into play, and darker, intricately layered production, whilst still maintaining the raw emotion that has resonated throughout his work to date. Gratitude is available to pre-order here.
To coincide with the announcement, Benjamin has unveiled new track Sometimes which you can listen to below:
