A couple of days ago, Benny Blanco announced on Instagram that he will be releasing music under his own name and identity as an artist.

If you’re unfamiliar with who Benny is, it’s time to get familiar. He’s one of the biggest names behind the scenes of the music production scene. Ed Sheehan, Halsey, Major Lazer, The Weeknd, Kanye, and Nas is just a couple names that he’s worked with.
“Eastside” featuring Halsey and Khalid is the first song he has released since the big announcement. I’d describe this song as soft and beautiful with a hint of nostalgia. Khalid and Halsey’s vulnerable and delicate vocals about young love fits in perfectly with Benny’s amazing production.
The video gives us a glimpse into Benny and Halsey’s past and also their first loves. The video and story-telling style is very similar to Cashmere Cat’s “9 (After Coachella)” video. The “Eastside” video will remind you of your roots and of your first love. Prepare some tissue at hand because you might find yourself in your feels.

We can expect more music from Benny very soon as he’s cooking up some more music with other artists such as Francis and the Lights.
