Rising pop singer Eben dropped his new EP Honeydew on Thursday (June 18), as well as the music video for track “The Kids Are Alright.”
Arriving on the heels of his hit song “Sad Song,” the project features five crisply-produced, bass-heavy pop confections, from the jolting alarm heralding opener “Wake Up Call” to the giddy infatuation of “Someone Like Her.”
To celebrate the release, the Cincinnati native shared his go-to quarantine playlist exclusively with Billboard.
Featuring everyone from Mac Miller and The 1975 to Benee and Juice Wrld, the 11 tracks are a perfectly diverse mix that capture the wide-ranging inspirations behind the up-and-comer’s sonic palette.
Check out Eben’s exclusive quarantine playlist below.
