Benjamin Francis Leftwich drops third album 'Gratitude' - listen now

Words: Sam Geary 

Singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich releases his third album, 'Gratitude', today (March 15) via Dirty Hit.

Coming ahead of his UK tour, the 12- track record - now streaming online -follows a stint in rehab and struggles with alcohol and drugs, and was written, he says, during "an intense time of touring and travelling heavily. I had lost my mind for a long time, and to be honest was in quite a dark space, literally and spiritually."
