Ben Böhmer confirms third studio album, ‘Bloom,’ opens rollout with ‘Best Life’ : Dancing Astronaut
Nearly three years since the Anjunadeep MVP shook the music industry with Begin Again, Ben Böhmer has officially announced the release of his third studio album, Bloom. In confirming the project’s official due date—out everywhere September 17th via Ninja Tune—Böhmer has concurrently issued a sonic preview in “Best Life,” now streaming, offering a coveted glimpse into the next stage of the 30-year-old DJ’s career.
Featuring Berlin-based music duo JONAH, comprising singer/songwriters Angelo Mammone and Christian Steenken, “Best Life” arrives leisurely on the heels of Böhmer’s October 2023 collaboration, “One Last Call.” Notably, on streaming platforms, “Best Life” digitally houses both of the aforementioned track titles. Unbeknownst to the public, Böhmer has been paving the way to Bloom in the dark, only now doing so in broad daylight.
Sonically speaking, “Best Life” rips the duct tape from any boxes encasing Böhmer’s creative prowess. The German producer’s latest successfully capitalizes on renewed soundscapes, layered atop drum and bass-inspired percussion, all in seamless support of JONAH’s effortless vocal performance. “Life is short and fast,” says JONAH, speaking on the new record. The German duo expanded,
“‘Best Life’ is all about that rollercoaster ride of trying, failing… A reminder of the importance of living each moment to the fullest.”
