Rising singer-songwriter and musician Chris Benis is proud to announce the release of his latest single, "Night of a Lifetime," now available on all major streaming platforms.
This introspective track, rich with emotion and personal reflection, marks another milestone in Chris's journey as a solo artist.
About Chris Benis:Chris Benis is a multifaceted artist from Los Angeles who has been passionate about music since a young age. At just eight years old, he formed the "Benis Brothers Band" with his younger brothers, gaining local fame in the Greater Seattle area.
Influenced by classic rock legends like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Doors, Chris has developed a unique sound that blends these classic influences with alternative rock, indie, and pop.
In 2020, Chris competed in Season 18 of American Idol, advancing to the third round and performing in front of industry giants like Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. His previous EP, "The Notion," released in September 2021, was produced by the acclaimed Don Farwell at Earwig Studios. Chris returned to Earwig Studios in 2022 to work on his project "Nights Like These," which debuted in early 2023.
"Night of a Lifetime" was recorded with all live instruments, including drums and strings, at Earwig Studios in Seattle, WA. Chris, the sole songwriter, meticulously crafts each instrumental part in his head before heading to the studio. The track is a testament to his ability to create well-constructed ballads under tight budgets, with live instruments adding a rich, authentic texture.
The song was inspired by Chris's experiences during the summer of 2023 when he lived in Athens and Prague. It reflects the longing to be with a loved one while embracing the journey of a lifetime. Drawing melodic inspiration from The Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere," "Night of a Lifetime" is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and our choices.
Chris hopes that "Night of a Lifetime" resonates with listeners, evoking memories of past loves and allowing the emotions of love, longing, and loss to wash over them.
