Ben of Breaking Benjamin Talks New Music

Breaking Benjamin frontman Benjamin Burnley talked about new music in a new interview.

Regarding the band’s new single “Awaken,” Burnley said, “Everybody’s been super cool about it. And we’re really stoked about it. I’m the kind of guy where I try to — I wouldn’t say I’m detached, but I try not to pay too much attention just because I don’t want to face any failures. So I just kind of let it go and let it do its thing.”

He continued, “And from what I’m hearing, it’s going well, and, man, we’re just over the moon about it. Everything that we do, we just do the best that we can, and that’s all we can do. And we feel like we didn’t have anything more we could have possibly done with this song. And so, yeah, if nothing else, it was absolutely our best effort.”

As far as consistently making new music, Burnley said, “We don’t wanna be rushed. Every now and then we get messages from fans saying about how they like that our albums from front to back are always pretty consistent. And that’s a thing that I actually like personally, just to have it so that every song gets the same amount of love and nothing’s just thrown in there to be complete and everything has a purpose and a place, stuff like that. So that takes time, because we could probably bang out an album by tomorrow if people wanted us to, but it wouldn’t be as good as it can be.”
