\nSinger-songwriter Harrison Caldeira returns with his new single \u201cFriends With Benefits\u201d. Written, composed, and produced by Caldeira himself, the new single is busy and energetic with a hint of ere solitude. \u201cFriends With Benefits\u201d lyrically takes a dive into the struggles of this type of relationship – wanting more from the arrangement, wanting something real. With a sound that is inspired by Sam Cooke, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Daniel Caesar, Caldeira combines his airy vocals with a harmonious track to highlight his songwriting.<\/p>\n

Says Caldeira, “I wrote this song after a grueling fifteen-hour shift landscaping. I was at the grocery store where I saw a headline on a magazine that said, ‘Friends with Benefits’ and I wanted to tell that story. The song is about a guy not satisfied with just being friends. He has come to believe that he should want a relationship with no strings attached and has sort of settled into that role in the beginning, but he can\u2019t contain the way he feels about her anymore.”
\n\u201cHis talent is equally matched in both singing and songwriting and we hope to hear more from him soon.\u201d

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Harrison Caldeira started creating music in his secluded home amidst his West-Indian family. He released his EP, The Equinox in 2017. The record focused more on an acoustic effort with intensely emotional lyrics praised for \u201csound[ing] like heartbreak\u201d. Something in the Air declared, \u201cWith each song, you can feel the intensity and emotion all the way through. If there had to be one new indie folk album to listen to on a wintery morning this year, it\u2019d be this one.” Caldeira altered his playing and recording style since his EP – moving to use his electric Hagstrom guitar. This shift is now being presented through his single \u201cFriends With Benefits\u201d.<\/p>\n

Currently, Harrison Caldeira is excited for fans to hear his new single \u201cFriends With Benefits\u201d, which is the first of two tracks to be released this summer. He is also gearing up for his second single \u201cSilence\u201d which will be accompanied by a music video. Be sure to follow Harrison Caldeira on Social Media to stay up-to-date on his new releases.
