Son Stone, the multi-genre expert whose given name is Ben Diamond, returns with an authoritative new rock single, “Abraham.” This latest one plays like a master class in storytelling, all rough musicality and emotional undertow.
The track envelops you in a layered landscape propelled by the dynamism of the Son Stone Project, whose giftedness teeters on the preternatural. With a rock base for the song pushing forward, Ben’s renowned wit and grim come through in both his vocal strength and delicate arrangements.
The song carries the momentum of a good storyteller, allowing you to feel every turn in it as if we’re all on the journey. It’s the sort of rock that wails not only to be heard, but lived in its echo of familiar spirits and an armful of surprises.
For fans both longstanding and those just waking up to the way of Son Stone, “Abraham” only cements the legend of Stone as a genre-agnostic artist who’s unafraid to follow his own lead. Ben Diamond continues to test limits while remaining true to himself, and this is an invitation into the colorful, multi-layered world of Son Stone.
