Critically acclaimed Australian singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Eddie Benjamin shares the music video for newest single, 'All For Nothing.' Get it HERE via Epic Records/Vol 1 Records.

On the track, lush keys glimmer alongside psychedelic guitar solos as Eddie flexes his dynamic vocal range. In his words, the song offers "an unfiltered perspective on being deeply in love and experiencing your first heartbreak by being cheated on."

Directed by Rupert Hoeller and shot in Vienna, Austria, the accompanying visual finds him inside of an ornate mansion. Accompanied by clones of himself, all manner of surrealism channels his otherworldly musicality on-screen. Fittingly, it culminates with Eddie bent over on his back ripping a solo with a Fender Stratocaster-could it end any other way?

Currently, Eddie Benjamin is readying his debut studio album, due soon.

"All of the songs are pretty life-shifting experiences I've gone through," says Eddie. "I wanted to tap into actual meaning within the art. This body of work represents the most monumental and meaningful moments for me, and I just had to get them out." It wasn't always an easy journey. "It was painful. It was exciting. It felt like I'd grown up. It was an interesting and beautiful process."

In 2022, 'Weatherman' set the tone for Eddie Benjamin's break-out. Garnering attention from publications like Rolling Stone and The Sunday Times and being dubbed "one of the best songs of the year so far" by TIME, the song has been streamed close to 40 million times, hit the Spotify Viral chart, and became a top 10 used song on TikTok in the during the Spring of 2022.

He also shared the single 'Only You' ft. Alessia Cara. Receiving critical plaudits, Billboard praised how "Cara and Benjamin's voices blend beautifully as they sing about an imperfect romance" while Variety raved, "'Only You' featuring Alessia Cara, proves Benjamin is a formidable duet partner with its breezy melody and inward-facing lyricism." With that single, Eddie made his late-night television debut with a scorching performance alongside Alessia on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In addition, Eddie ignited the stage nightly last year as the opener for Justin Bieber's monumental Justice Tour in sold out arenas and stadiums across North America. Along the way, Eddie has become a formidable live performer, one who can rip a guitar solo and do a back flip all within the same 8 bars. As GRAMMY.com put it, "obvious from his cadence performing live, his musical influences include legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix." It's not hard to see how!

Watch this space for more news on Eddie Benjamin's debut album as he begins to take over 2023.
