Ben Denny Mo delivers a tender ode to fleeting romance in his new single “September.” Written on the sun-drenched island of Gozo, where Ben now lives and works as a chef, the track hums with warmth and longing. Built around his signature soulful vocals and rhythmic, folk-infused guitar playing, the song feels like a postcard from a memory.
Sonically, “September” is upbeat and playful, carried by jangly guitars, plucky, bright instrumentation, and a sunny, move-inducing rhythm. Ben’s warm, husky vocals are full of feeling, wrapping around the track like a familiar embrace, offering comfort and joy in equal measure.
“September” is the lead single from Ben’s upcoming EP, The Norfkl Tapes, due in October. Recorded primarily in Norfolk, the EP reflects Ben’s journey not just as an artist, but as someone who’s turned personal challenges, like navigating life with dyslexia, into a source of creative fuel. There’s a natural storytelling ease to his work, layered with groove-led arrangements and a raw honesty that gives it emotional weight without ever feeling heavy-handed.
If this single is anything to go by, The Norfkl Tapes promises to be a rich, reflective collection from a songwriter quietly coming into his own.
