Benjamin Booker previews new album with Believe


Benjamin Booker




Believe is the latest track picked to preview Benjamin Booker‘s new album Witness.

A live video, filmed at the Columbus Theatre in Providence, starkly displays the gospel direction being taken by Booker which has been apparent on predecessors Witness and Right On You, and which was borne out of a tumultuous period for the songwriter after the release of his 2014 debut.

“I headed to to Louis Armstrong Airport and took a plane from New Orleans to Houston to Mexico City,” he’s said of this time. “As I flew above the coast of Mexico, I looked out the plane window and saw a clear sky with the uninhabited coast of a foreign land below me. I couldn’t help but smile.”

“My heart was racing. I was running. I rented an apartment on the border of Juarez and Doctores, two neighborhoods in the center of the city, near the Baleras metro station and prepared to be mostly alone.”
