New Music: Ben Platt’s Tender “Andrew” Recounts A Childhood Crush

Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning Ben Platt drops his tender new single “Andrew.” With gentle echoes of Simon & Garfunkel, the guitar-driven song recounts a childhood crush on a boy and the intimate journey of the heart that follows. The folky track takes a stripped-back approach, as the out artist delivers effortless, soaring vocals that tug at the heartstrings. The serene, minimalist approach of “Andrew” is reflected in the music video directed by Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: the Eras Tour, Billie Eilish: Live At The O2). https://youtu.be/30wILkA-0nk?si=Le8oF5ZowBywnEW_ “His hair falls in cool, careless waves without trying, goes days without crying but still treats me kind,” Platt croons over acoustic guitar plucking. “And it’s not his fault all the sleep I’ve been losing, the way that I’m ruined — one look in his eyes and I’m gone, helplessly gone.” Related: Ben Platt Pulls The Listener In “Grow As We Go” It’s a raw, vulnerable, and deeply romantic introduction to the platinum-selling artist’s most introspective and unfiltered project to date. From his upcoming album Honeymind, scheduled for release May 31.
