Rhode Island-born, Paris-based musician and filmmaker Ben Chace unveils warm yet reflective debut solo single “Stories from the Everyday,” offering a glimpse of his upcoming EP Homecooking.
A gentle and poetic number built on mellow instrumentals, the track is carried by tropical arrangements of Congolese guitar virtuoso Rodriguez Vangama and the delicate drumming of Morgan Vigilante.
Encapsulating the simple gestures, quiet inner struggles and invisible moments that form the core of our everyday lives, the track is led by subtle yet emotive delivery and poignant lyrics that sway between fine observation and tender resignation. Delivering a celebration of ordinary days, silent fears and modest hopes, Chace unravels a simple yet impactful soundscape that feels intimate and resonant all at once.
Minimal yet layered with vibrant 1960s Afro-pop influences and the cinematic depth of American folk, the track is showcase of how unremarkable moments can hold power.
Driven by a deep curiosity for history and the cultural links as well as a graceful artistry, Ben Chace’s debut offering leaves us in anticipation for his forthcoming project.
