Ben Heyworth’s Tell Me, What Is Love?: A Moving Acoustic Comeback

In "Tell Me, What Is Love?", Manchester singer-songwriter Ben Heyworth serves up a deeply personal, emotionally charged ballad that marks an exceptional chapter in his musical journey. This single is a deeply emotional song that is also captivating. It is his first single and a major return to music after being away for ten long years. Ben was previously known for his music under the name This Morning Call, where he delved into the electronic side of the musical spectrum, but he is now turning his attention toward a stripped-back acoustic form of writing music that feels very much at home in Manchester, intimate with a consideration for Toronto's acoustic history as well. 






This song was recorded live at Blueprint Studios, where Elbow, a Manchester band, recorded. The song stands out as unpolished, feeling fresh, with all of the nuances of Ben's voice and guitar being relaxed, which allows the emotion of the song to reveal itself as soon as it can, or not at all. 







Ben's delivery feels a little vulnerable, as if you should have waited until he asked you if you were ready to listen, that the song was not just a song but an experience. How Neil Finn, Badly Drawn Boy, and Damon Albarn have influenced him, along with every aspect of the lyrics, seems to be honest and well-crafted, a melodic capture of every moment.







Thematically, the song deals with both love and loss with a level of heartfelt authenticity that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to. By minimizing production and letting the feeling take over, Ben Heyworth has taken the rule of less is more to heart. Tell Me, What Is Love? is a brilliant reminder of what is possible in music when you are truly authentic, and an exciting hint of what is to follow from this Manchester artist.
