On this episode of Riffs on Riffs, Toby and Joe dive into Benson Boone’s meteoric rise, from his first brush with fame on American Idol to his decision to carve his own path as an artist. They break down his hit single "Beautiful Things," exploring its themes of vulnerability, the fleeting nature of happiness, and the weight of success. Along the way, they discuss the evolving conversation around masculinity in music, the importance of self-belief, and the physical toll of high-energy performances—especially when backflips at the Grammys are involved. They also examine what makes "Beautiful Things" resonate so deeply, all while celebrating the twists, turns, and occasional stumbles that come with chasing greatness.
