ON THE RISE
Benjamin Hey! has always wanted to be a musician, bringing people together with his insightful lyrics and beautiful vocals. Now as a releasing artist he is doing just that. Hey!’s last single “Ra-Ta-Tat-Tat”, was a bold track that addresses gun violence in urban communities. Now taking a step into a new direction, his newest track “No Samples” focuses on self respect and the importance of not settling for a romance that isn’t in your best interest.
“No Samples” comes at a time where many of us find ourselves in a bit of a tight situation. With the holidays upon us, the world is settling into cozy relationships and discussions of happily ever after. The season makes it easy to consider hopping into the first relationship you can find. This song, and Hey!’s own testaments argue for something different though.
“No Samples” is a track about holding out for something that is truly worth your time. “I want to inspire others who feel like hopeless romantics to know that they aren’t alone,” Hey! said. “It is worth your time to hold out for something special and amazing.”
When listening to this song, the R&B melodies and sensual feel transport you into the sexy, high fashion world of a New Yorker. The song itself emulates the attractive nature of independence and living life for yourself. “There is so much of a social push for relationships right now,” Hey! explained. “That isn’t always the way things should be though.”
Alongside the single, Hey! released a video that exudes the appeal of a sexy, single life. It blends perfectly with the song, creating the feel and energy of the high class New Yorker who knows their worth.
Hey! is an avid advocate for self love and letting the right relationship find you when the time comes. “There is no need to force yourself into something and settle with that,” he said.
As an artist who has committed himself to writing a new song daily, Hey! has a collection of tracks that he is excited to share with the world. With a versatile sound and an endless pool of creativity, he is sure to have something that will excite everyone.
Not only will Hey! be releasing projects of his own, he will also be sharing collaborations with other incredible musicians. This includes an upcoming project focused on female empowerment and the strength of a woman who sets her mind to something.
There is so much that this artist has to offer, be sure to keep up with him and follow along as he continues to share his art with the world.

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
