Award-winning artist and producer Ben Böhmer delivers his latest single, “Faithless” featuring Erin LeCount. The track continues the lead-up to Böhmer’s third studio album, ‘Bloom’, arriving September 27 via Ninja Tune.

“Faithless” is perhaps the most stark departure from the melodic house/techno music that has become Ben’s signature sound over his career, cemented by the success of his previous albums (nearly 1 billion streams). Despite the success, Ben has always identified most as a composer and songwriter, which comes through clearly in this new collaboration with Erin LeCount, taking Ben’s sound even further into the indie and pop realms. “Faithless” features a breathtaking performance from LeCount alongside Ben’s immersive production, which calls upon woozy halftime percussion and soaring, atmospheric pads.

Erin LeCount is the next breakthrough artist from the UK, becoming well-known for her stirring lyrics, starry-eyed vocals, and cinematic compositions as a writer & producer. Her music has been called “stellar” by Wonderland Magazine and “beautifully poignant” by Clash. Speaking on the brand new single, Erin says that “‘Faithless’ really came together in a case of divine timing – I was in the right place at the right time when I heard the instrumental, and Ben’s production is such a beautiful soundscape that it was so natural to write for. I wrote the lyrics about a cycle of self-sabotage in wanting to love someone and then leaving the minute things get good – reminiscing and regretting it every time but being unable to stay anywhere too long.”
