It's story time on Ben Folds' first album in eight years
Jeff Jenkins
STACK Writer
"But why shouldn’t I be allowed to sing a nasty cussing song one day, compose a piano concerto the next?” Ben Folds asked in his 2019 memoir, 'A Dream About Lightning Bugs'.
The American artist – who’s almost an honorary Aussie, having called Adelaide home for seven years – admits that when it comes to making music, he follows his interest as much as his instinct.
Folds’ eclectic path continues on his first studio album in eight years.
For the most part, it’s a meandering, mellow affair. He’s not really rockin’ the suburbs, though Exhausting Lover is quintessential Ben Folds piano pop, with a storyline you won’t forget in a hurry. A cautionary tale for every would-be rock star, Folds sings about a careful-what-you-wish-for groupie encounter, where “every kiss is a jam band solo”. Classic.
