March 21, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, global pop sensation Benson Boone returns with his anthemic new single “Slow It Down.” Listen HERE via Night Street Records/Warner Records and watch the video HERE. The aching, piano-driven number comes from the breakout star’s hotly anticipated debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, arriving April 5. Pre-order the album HERE.
“Slow It Down” follows Boone’s massive Platinum hit “Beautiful Things,” which quickly catapulted to the top of the charts, and reached #1 in the Irish Singles Chart last week. It also reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the track claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Global Charts for four weeks straight and has amassed over 600 million streams to date. That hit single, along with past smashes “Ghost Town“ and “In the Stars“ will be featured on Fireworks & Rollerblades.
The North American leg of Boone‘s fully sold-out headline tour kicks off with two shows in Chicago on April 2 and 3, with stops in Brooklyn, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping up in Vancouver on May 4. On May 21, the singer-songwriter will cross the pond to begin his trek across the UK and Europe, starting in London and ending in Helsinki on June 11. In September, he’ll finish off the tour in Australia and New Zealand. See the complete list of tour dates below.
“Beautiful Things” and his upcoming tour continue a trend of big achievements for Boone. Earlier this year, iHeartRadio named him an On The Verge Artist, and last year, he was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and MTV’s Global PUSH Artist for October. Meanwhile, his PULSE EP generated tens of millions of streams for tracks like “What Was,” “Little Runaway,” and “Sugar Sweet.” He headlined a sold-out headline tour across North America and Europe, then ended the year with the release of his moving single “To Love Someone.”
The PULSE EP was preceded by his 2022 piano ballad “Before You” and the Walk Me Home… EP, which included his breakout single “GHOST TOWN” — Boone‘s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and a Top 25 hit at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio. It also became his first RIAA-certified Gold record, followed by “In The Stars,” which is now certified Platinum.
