Benson teases the album with the melancholy, piano-driven new single ‘Slow It Down’. The music follows his big US Platinum hit ‘Beautiful Things,’ which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 list and spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global list, with over 600 million plays to date. ‘Beautiful Things’ and ‘Slow It Down’, as well as his previous big hits ‘Ghost Town’ (certified Silver in the UK) and ‘In the Stars’ (certified Gold), will appear on ‘Fireworks & Rollerblades’.
