Steve Benjamins, Circles Review

Singer and songwriter Steve Benjamins was bitten by the songwriting bug at the early age of ten, and since then Benjamins’ songwriting continues to evolve. Releasing his first recordings to the public at age twenty-six, Benjamins is firm in his vision and has developed a clear path for his sound. In taking sixteen years to hone it before sharing it, Benjamins offers a polished performance. In the past five years his musical output has been prolific, with four EPs and nine singles. “Circles” being his latest. The single features Benjamins’ warm clear voice conveying his thoughtful lyrics with a rich melody. That’s the short of it!
