Benjamin Francis Leftwich announces third studio album, ‘Gratitude’

Benjamin Francis Leftwich has announced his highly anticipated third album, Gratitude, which is set for release on 15th March 2019 via Dirty Hit.

The news comes after the release of the title track last month, with today also seeing the release of new track Sometimes.


This summer saw Leftwich release the EP I Am With Youwhich ushered in a new sonic era for the singer/songwriter. His third record will also follow the acclaimed studio albums Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm and After The Rain, released in 2011 and 2016 respectively.

Gratitude builds on the foundations laid in the EP, and sees Leftwich bring more electronic elements into play, and darker, intricately layered production, whilst still maintaining the raw emotion that has resonated throughout his work to date.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich will also be touring the UK in Spring 2019, including a date at London’s Union Chapel and his biggest hometown show to date at York Minster. The full list of dates is below.
