Fare Thee Well, Follower is the latest album from Nashville’s Benjamin Stranger. “Summer Alone” is an indie, anti-single song of the summer, reminding us “We’re all going down.” Thanks. In addition to Stranger’s soft voice, additional vocals from Crissie McCree and Melissa Mathes make for sweet harmonies and overlapping melodies, with a great hook to boot. We pick up on the trend of featuring female singers who sound like Lana Del Rey a la guest vocalist Bee Taylor, by the track “Misshapen I.D. (Twanas Remix),” downtempo and extremely chill. We love the live acoustic track “Drag queens are much much much much safer than AR​-​15s,” and we agree!
