Grammy-nominated global pop sensation Benson Boone continues his incredible rise in 2025 with the release of his second studio album, American Heart, now available via Night Street Records/Warner Records.
Alongside the album, Benson has released a heartfelt video for “Mr. Electric Blue”, a song dedicated to his father. The video was directed by long-time creative partner Matt Eastin.

TV Appearances and Iconic Performances
Earlier this month, Boone appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing his emotionally resonant new track “Momma Song”. During the interview, he became the first guest ever to do a backflip off Jimmy’s desk.
Benson also delivered a show-stopping performance at the American Music Awards on 26 May, where he lit up the stage with his current chart-climber “Mystical Magical”. That same track featured prominently in his Saturday Night Live debut, where he also performed the album’s lead single “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else”.
In February, Boone brought the crowd to its feet at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, performing his global smash “Beautiful Things”, for which he was nominated for Best New Artist. The momentum continued in April at Coachella, where he delivered a viral performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” alongside Queen’s legendary Brian May.
Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” Breaks Streaming Records
Benson Boone’s 5x-Platinum hit “Beautiful Things” was the most streamed song globally in 2024, earning the prestigious IFPI Global Single Award. It has now surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify and over 4 billion streams overall.
