News: New Single by Irish artist Ben Reel - Don't Fight It Baby

Ben Reel - Don't Fight It Baby 'Don't fight it baby' will be released on all platforms on Fri 10th February 2023. It will be the 1st single of 3 to be released from a brand new studio album 'Come a Long Way' coming out in June. It will be Ben Reel's 11th studio album featuring 11 new tracks. The song 'Don't fight it baby' sends the message to seize the moment in life, not to hold back and just go for it.

The track moves along beautifully with big rhythmic acoustic guitars with the feel of Roy Orbisons 'I Drove All Night'. One particular DJ described it as having the sound that Jeff Lynne may have produced (think Tom Petty, Travelling Willburys). The song also features the famous Prophet 5 80's synth which gives the song the vibe that it could fit right in with the Netflix show "Stranger Things" soundtrack.
