Ben Platt – Reverie (Vinyl LP)

Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning artist Ben Platt returns with his anticipated second solo album Reverie produced by Michael Pollack (Justin Bieber, Katy Perry) and Zach Skelton (Jonas Brothers, Paul McCartney) with additional production from Grammy Award nominee Gian Stone (Maroon 5, Dua Lipa). We slip in and out of songs like daydreams. Akin to a gust of fresh air through an open window, those short bursts of fancy renew and revive us. Platt uncorks such moments of escapism on Reverie while also bottling butterflies of joy, wonder, and hope inside of immersive pop underlined by warm electronic soundscapes, eloquent lyricism, and showstopping vocal dynamics.

Single “Happy To Be Sad” was met with applause from Billboard, which raved, “On ‘Happy To Be Sad,’ the singer beautifully illustrates the portrait of a lover having to leave his significant other for a while, and simply reveling in the sadness as a source of pure joy. It’s a confusing emotion to describe until you hear Platt’s cherubic vocals…” Fellow single “Imagine” arrived in summer 2021 and has fast proven one of Platt’s biggest singles to date. Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz and Jon Bellion and co-written by Platt with Bellion, Michael Pollack, Alexander Izquierdo, Jordan K. Johnson, and Stefan Johnson, the track was hailed by Rolling Stone as “tender and confident… a tribute to everyday saviors,”
