    Ben Harper Shares New Single, “We Need To Talk About It”

    By Dom VigilJune 15, 2022
    Ben Harper We Need To Talk About It

    Singer-songwriter/musician/producer, Ben Harper has shared his new single, “We Need To Talk About It” today alongside an official visualizer. Produced by Harper and GRAMMY® Award-winner Sheldon Gomberg, this is the first single from Harper’s eagerly anticipated fiercely personal soulful album, BLOODLINE MAINTENANCE, due via his new deal with Chrysalis Records on Friday, July 22nd.

    Fans can pre-order BLOODLINE MAINTENANCE now HERE.

    “We Need To Talk About It” defiantly addresses the wounds of slavery through a sharp-edged call-and-response with gospel-fueled backing vocals and pounding rhythms augmented by the distinctive sound of the African talking drum.

    Harper – joined by his longtime band, The Innocent Criminals – will herald BLOODLINE MAINTENANCE with an epic world tour highlighted by North American and European headline dates, festival performances, US shows alongside Jack Johnson, and a 15-night run supporting his recent collaborator Harry Styles at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum. More headlining dates will be announced. Tickets can be found HERE.
