American Heart is the second album by Benson Boone, a work that looks towards the American tradition and heartland rock, with declared influences from artists like Bruce Springsteen. In this album Boone explores personal growth, roots, and contemporary nostalgia. The project was presented live during Coachella 2025, with a highlight moment alongside Brian May (Queen) performing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Benson Boone (Monroe, Washington, 2002) is a singer and songwriter. He emerged in 2021 after his time on American Idol and signed with Night Street/Warner, chaining hits like “Ghost Town,” “In the Stars,” and “Beautiful Things.” His debut, Fireworks & Rollerblades (2024), established an emotive pop style with rock and piano arrangements. With American Heart, Boone delves into a more mature and roots-based narrative, keeping the focus on the voice and highly confessional lyrics.
