Ben Howard

This British guitarist has 3 billion streams on Spotify and has sold 3.6 million albums. He carries on where he left off with a brilliant new album, Is It?, where songs of resilience and introspective ballads intertwine. Known for his intimate melodies that invoke singers like Nick Drake and Neil Young, the composer of Only Love is now developing a more alternative pop sound that plays with electronic ambiances. His desire for reinvention can heard on the song Walking Backwards, with its New Wave influences.
