Benjamin William Hastings is the debut self-titled studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Benjamin William Hastings. The album was released on Capitol CMG on November 4, 2022.[1][2] Lyrically, the album is about Hastings' own personal struggles.[3] On January 20, 2023, a 50-track "songwriters edition" was released, including a commentary of each of the album's original songs.[4][5] On March 17, 2023, he released a 39-track deluxe edition titled Benjamin William Hastings (And Then Some), which featured fourteen tracks of bonus material.[6][7][8] The song "That's the Thing About Praise" (with Blessing Offor) reached significant chart position, at #21 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and #15 on the Christian Airplay charts.
Critical reception
Speaking for Jesus Freak Hideout, Joel Zaloum gave the album a four-out-of-five-star rating, criticizing the album for being "purposefully extraneous", but praising Hastings' songwriting, as he "writes with his heart".[1]
