Zach Benson, white lies | Track Review 🎵

The ‘white lies’ of the single “white lies” don’t stop pop singer/songwriter Zach Benson from delivering a sweet bop.

“White lies / You color me with all your / White lies.” Ooh, wee, 🎙 Zach Benson! The pop star, who also characterizes himself as power to the queer kids 🌈, brings the heat on 🎵 “white lies”.  A picturesque addition to the LGBTQ catalog, even if you’re not a member of the community yourself, you’ll enjoy the vibes Benson is giving off on this brief but potent BOP, PERIOD.

The chorus, where the lyrics are excepted from, is kind of – more like definitely – a big deal. It is the centerpiece of the song – infectious, tuneful, and BIG.  Prior to that, the verses yield tuneful melodies as well, which Benson eats up with his jubilant lead vocals.  Upping the ante are vocal harmonies, which make these “white lies” even more sugary sweet – not saccharine though.  Of course, it’s not all vocals, melodies, and choruses that make up “white lies.” There’s also exuberant, colorful, shimmering production work.  Those synths are DAZZLING! The groove is #ON – electric, baby, NO LIE! The pros don’t stop there.  The bridge marks a fabulous contrast to the verses and chorus, providing separation.  Furthermore, the lyrics, besides the chorus, are swell too – white lies and all!  All in all, the handsome (notes midriff in cover art 😝), talented, power to the queer kids Zach Benson delivers a pop joint you’re sure to keep on repeat with 🎵 “white lies”.
