Lykke Li and Oh Wonder to feature on Ben Böhmer's first album in three years, Bloom
Award-winning electronic artist Ben Böhmer has announced his first new studio album in three years, Bloom. The news comes alongside a brand new single, “Best Life,” featuring JONAH.
Coming off a record-breaking world tour in support of his previous album, Ben Böhmer made a point to take time to himself and return to the space that compels him the most: his studio. He tackled grief on his breakthrough debut album, Breathing, and separation on its follow-up, 2021’s Begin Again.
“Life is short and fast,” JONAH remarks on the track. “You try, you fail, and sometimes we lose a special person along the way who is irreplaceable, but the memories stay with us, shaping who we are. ‘Best Life’ is all about that rollercoaster ride of trying, failing, and a reminder of the importance of living each moment to the fullest.”
In support of the new album announcement, Böhmer has announced a run of live shows this fall across the UK and Europe, including stops at Alexandra Palace in London and Albert Hall in Manchester.

1. Martin
2. Hiding (feat. Lykke Li)
3. Best Life (feat. JONAH)
