Benny Cashh is back with his new single, "Closer." This sensual, soul-bearing track glides easily between trap-tinged beats, pop-rap suaveness, and conscious-minded hip-hop. It's a whole-body mood soaked in feeling and cushioned by just enough of a poetic edge that you feel it long after your speakers have fallen silent.
"Closer" surrounds you in a comforting wash of slick production from the get. The instrumental is minimal but effective, a stripped-back trap with a shimmering melodic sheen. Benny's vocal flow is effortless, navigating between sung melodies and rap verses that carry an emotional weight that lends power to the storytelling. It's a slow burn that draws you in with every bar.
Benny Cashh delves into the themes of yearning, heartache, and the struggle to bridge the literal and emotional gap between two individuals. What makes "Closer" so resoundingly powerful is that it feels personal. Instead of relying on cliché romantic tropes, Benny gets to the heart of what it means to truly connect. No mere sound bite, his reflections on openness and intimacy are weighty but never preachy or overproduced.
Benny's pop-rap impulses make it a catchy, easily digested song, but his conscious hip-hop legacy gives it more meaning than the hook. It's the rare kind of song that you can play during a laid-back drive, while you're musing on the night-time on a walk down your block, or if you need to feel something more meaningful in a world painted in the plastic colors of fake connection.
On "Closer," Benny Cashh continues to carve out a singular lane where melody and message walk hand in hand. This song is a statement of how much an artist has grown, and a musician who is no longer afraid to show emotion is willing to play with sound and keep it raw. For music lovers who bump and breathe, "Closer" is a movement. Benny Cashh is growing louder, even in his most intimate apologies.
