How Should Benson Boone Feel About the Early Reception to ‘American Heart’?
Benson Boone's 'American Heart' album debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 but with some of the year's most negative reviews.
Neither of those songs will likely grow to the size of “Beautiful Things,” but the chart debut of American Heart demonstrates that listeners are interested in Boone beyond his breakthrough single, and that he has successfully transcended one-hit-wonder status. Jason Lipshutz: Generally speaking, the reviews for American Heart have nodded to Boone’s talent as a backflip-friendly performer and beguiling pop personality, while also focusing on his lack of song craft to this point. Boone has moved beyond “Beautiful Things” by presenting his live show to a much wider audience and cranking out new albums in back-to-back years; he’s been tireless over the past 18 months, but that hardworking attitude has helped make him a star.
