Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Dirty Hit

WE SAY

Pictures encompasses what Benjamin Francis Leftwich is all about; devastatingly beautiful melodies and lyrics that tear your heart to pieces. Last week's chart saw the 22-year-old's album - Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm - make a massive 158% increase in sales, this week's Tuesday midweek saw that trend continue with a further 50% increase in sales. That looks to continue today and see the album re-enter the top 100. Pictures is also in the top 10 on Shazam's pre-release chart and sitting nicely on the B-list at Radio 1, with two weeks until release. Video.
